a Coronal 201Tl SPECT images of non-diabetic and diabetic pig imaged 24 h after L FAO showing reduced tracer uptake in the occluded limb (yellow arrows) compared to the non-occluded limb. The color scale bar represents counts/unit time. Mean values of ratios of total hindlimb counts for the ischemic/non-ischemic (L/R) limbs for the non-diabetic and diabetic pigs are shown on the images. b Bar graphs of mean ± SD 201Tl uptake as %IA for the three distal hindlimb muscles for day 1 and day 28 scans for non-diabetic group (left graph) and diabetic group (right graph). c Mean ± SD for the difference in 201Tl uptake (%IA) in the gastrocnemius between the 2 time points for the two groups. The difference was significant (P = 0.003). d Individual values for 201Tl uptake (%IA) at day 1 and day 28 for the gastrocnemius muscle for non-diabetic pig (blue lines) and diabetic pig (orange lines)
