Fig. 2From: 18F-ASEM PET/MRI targeting alpha7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor can reveal skeletal muscle denervationAutoradiography and immunohistochemistry results. A, B Autoradiography demonstrated significantly increased uptake in the denervated muscle than in the control (95% confidence interval 1.07–1.62, n = 11). C, D Immunohistochemistry revealed a significantly greater alpha7-nAChR-positive area in the denervated muscle than in the control (25.3 ± 2.17% vs. 8.13 ± 3.19%, n = 6, P = 0.0277*)Back to article page
