(A–C) Na[18F]F uptakes in three aortic segments in B6, B6HFD, ApoE and ApoEHFD mice at W0, W16 and W32. Na[18F]F uptake in the (A) Thoracic aorta, (B) Ascending aorta and (C) Aortic arch at W16 and W32 respectively compared to mean baseline SUVmax values. SUVmax = Maximum of Standardized uptake values with mean ± std. error of mean, Thoracic = Thoracic aorta, Abdominal = Abdominal aorta, Arch = Aortic arch, W0 = Week 0, W16 = Week16, W32 = Week 32. [18F]NaF = 18F-sodium fluoride. Stars represent significant differences compared to baseline mean SUVmax values. Asterisk on top of a line represents differences between two groups of mice.
