Evaluation of organ glucose metabolism by 18F-FDG accumulation with insulin loading in aged mice compared with young normal mice
Abstract It is important to determine the functional changes of organs that occur as a result of aging, the understanding of which may lead to the maintenance of a healthy life. Glucose metabolism in healthy bodies is one of the potential markers used to evaluate the changes of organ function. Thus,...
