(18)F-FDG PET imaging of murine atherosclerosis: association with gene expression of key molecular markers.

AIM: To study whether (18)F-FDG can be used for in vivo imaging of atherogenesis by examining the correlation between (18)F-FDG uptake and gene expression of key molecular markers of atherosclerosis in apoE(-/-) mice. METHODS: Nine groups of apoE(-/-) mice were given normal chow or high-fat diet. At...
