Effect of β3-adrenergic receptor agonists on [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in brown adipose tissues in positron emission tomography images of elderly patients

Abstract Background Brown adipose tissues (BAT) are highly vascularized, mitochondria-rich tissues involved in thermogenesis. Physiological [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) uptake in BAT can be influenced by several factors, including the use of medications that act on β-adrenergic receptors. Rece...
