“…Quantitative blood flow using 13 N-ammonia and 15 O-labeled water PET in an animal model of acute infarction revealed that both approaches compared closely with blood flow assessed using microspheres (29). Alexanderson et al (30) used 13 Nammonia PET to demonstrate endothelial dysfunction in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia. Free fatty acid metabolism can be studied with using 11 C-palmitate and PET, and Ukkonen et al (31) showed that an acute reduction in availability of free fatty acids (used for aerobic metabolism) resulted in a decrease in LV systolic function and myocardial efficiency in heart failure patients.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
