A study conducted in New Haven, Connecticut, focused on quantifying the levels of the 11b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 enzyme in a Zucker Fatty rat model using PET imaging. The research aimed to understand the role of this enzyme in obesity pathophysiology and metabolic diseases. The study found that obesity is associated with decreased levels of the 11b-HSD1 enzyme in the brain, which correlated with changes in glucose and fatty acid metabolism. The research concluded that PET imaging can be a valuable tool for quantifying enzyme levels in obesity models. [Extracted from the article] |
