From: Differences in [18F]FDG uptake in BAT of UCP1 −/− and UCP1 +/+ during adrenergic stimulation of non-shivering thermogenesis

Fig. 5

Example of fused [18F]FDG PET/CT images acquired from fasted male WT and KO mice with and without NE injection. Images are displayed on the same SUV scale on a sagittal view. Male mice from Set 2 were subject to scans with (top row) and without (bottom row) NE injection. The arrows indicate regions of interscapular BAT, and circles indicate the 5 mm2 ROI centered around the local maximum that was used to measure SUVpeak. While uptake increases after NE injection for the WT mouse (left column), uptake for the KO mouse (right column) seems suppressed upon NE injection
