From: Myocardial glucose suppression may interfere with the detection of inflammatory cells with FDG-PET as suggested in a canine model of myocardial infarction

FDG activity concentration over the course of a 150-min constant infusion in seven animals for the infarcted non-obstructed (INOT), the remote tissue (RT) and the blood pool within the left ventricle (Blood Pool). During the first 60 min, infarcted not obstructed tissue (INOT) and remote tissue (RT) rise at the same rate but when suppression takes effect, the slope of the remote tissue is visibly reduced while infarcted not obstructed is only reduced slightly. The shaded area shows the time during which lipid infusion is applied. D1 – EF 34%—Size 1.73 cm3; D2 – EF 36%—Size 12 cm3; D3 – EF 37%—Size 14 cm3; D4 – EF 42%—Size 7.6 cm3; D5 – EF 33%—Size 16 cm3; D6 – EF 18%—Size 9.2 cm3; D7 – EF 25 – Size 17 cm.3
