a scV/Tc SPECT/CT scans from day 7 after FAO for a non-diabetic pig on the left and a diabetic pig on the right. Yellow arrows identify the occluder on the CT scan. Red outlines show borders of the proximal gastrocnemius muscle identified on the CT. The color scale bar represents counts/unit time. The bladder was removed, and the upper threshold reduced equally in both images to about 50% of peak counts to visually bring out the muscle uptake. The raw counts derived from the images were moved to spread sheet to convert to %IA (see text). b Bar graphs of mean ± SD of ratios of tracer uptake (%IA/cc) between the two limbs taken from gastrocnemius regions. c Bar graph of ratios for %IA/g between the two limbs measured from semimembranosus biopsy specimens taken immediately prior to scans
