Quantification of myocardial glucose uptake by positron emission tomography with to 10 mmol/l. When the glucose uptake was enhanced by insulin (10 mU/ml) or stunning, calculated a was reduced (insulin stimulated, 0.15; stunning, 0.19) compared with the control (0.59). These results indicate that LC can be evaluated by methods without radiolabeled tracers and is smaller when glucose uptake is augmented. Reprinted by permission of the publisher.
