Fig. 1

In vivo effect of STS on brain metabolism. In the upper part, on the left, brain parametric maps of representative control (CTR) and 48-h starved (STS) mice are shown; representative images of basal metabolic activity of the whole brain expressed in average standardized uptake value (SUV) are shown on the right. In the bottom, graphs of whole cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (CMRGlu*; nmol × min⁻¹ × g⁻¹) and SUV are displayed, respectively. Results indicate mean ± SD of nine mice per group; green bars represent control value, and blue bars represent STS value
