Characterization of glucose uptake metabolism in visceral fat by 18F-FDG PET/CT reflects inflammatory status in metabolic syndrome

Objective The inflammatory activity of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is elevated in metabolic syndrome (MS), and associated with vulnerability to atherosclerosis. Inflammation can be assessed by glucose uptake in atherosclerotic plaques. We investigated whether the glucose uptake of VAT, assessed by...
