Early Imaging Biomarker of Myocardial Glucose Adaptations in High-Fat-Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance Model by Using 18F-FDG PET and [U-13C]glucose Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Tracer

Figure 3

The representative short axis of CMR images in end-systolic and end-diastolic phases. The myocardium CMR images of control and HFD rats in end-systolic and end-diastolic phases are shown. The ejection fraction of the HFD rats significantly increased, and the left ventricle volume of the HFD rats significantly decreased, as compared with control rats based on the QMass analysis.
