Quantification, Variability, and Reproducibility of Basal Skeletal Muscle Glucose Uptake in Healthy Humans Using 18F-FDG PET/CT

Abstract: The quantification and variability of skeletal muscle glucose utilization (SMGU) in healthy subjects under basal (low insulin) conditions are poorly known. This information is essential early in clinical drug development to effectively interrogate novel pharmacologic interventions that modulate glucose uptake. The aim of this study was to determine test-retest characteristics and variability of SMGU within and between healthy subjects under basal conditions. Furthermore, different kinetic modeling strategies w… Show more

“…In combination with VAT, we identified two skeletal muscle groups (PM, GM) whose activity accounted for 64% of the variance in BMI (Table 2). In accordance with our findings, the GM was recently shown to be a highly reproducible location for measuring basal skeletal muscle FDG uptake with high intraclass correlation (0.88) and low within-subject variation (2.2%) (35). It is unclear why only the PM and GM correlated significantly with BMI, but we speculate that these sites are the most reliable measurements of basal muscle activity due to their relatively large volume and the lack of muscle activity at rest.…”

“…Our the small sample size and lack of random selection of subjects could potentially lead to a selection bias and type II error in our analysis. Recent data, however, suggest that studies with as little as 6–8 subjects could detect significant changes in skeletal muscle SUV between groups (35). Additionally, our study only enrolled men between the ages of 30 and 50 years of age.…”

“…The mean standardized uptake value (mSUV) of kidney cortex was measured and averaged from 4 volumes of interest (VOI) distributed in the upper (n = 2) and lower (n = 2) poles. The mSUV of kidney was normalized to the mSUV of psoas muscle (VOI of 20 mL) considered as reference tissue in order to obtain the mean SUV ratio (mSUVR) . Neither the liver nor the mediastinum was within the field of the graft‐centered scan, which hampers the use of liver or blood pool as references.…”

“…www.nature.com/scientificreports www.nature.com/scientificreports/ It is well known that glucose and [ 18 F]FDG uptake rate is influenced by muscle fiber composition and muscle activity level 27 . Gluteal muscles were recently shown to be a highly reproducible location for measuring basal skeletal muscle [ 18 F]FDG uptake rate with high intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC = 0.88) and low within-subject variation (2.2%) 28 . The increased uptake rate in these muscles can be explained by the fact that the gluteus maximus, one of the muscles that compose this group, is the biggest and strongest muscle of the whole body; moreover, their principal and most powerful function is to cause the body to regain the erect position after stopping and they are the chief muscles that work against gravity when a subject goes up stairs.…”
