Longitudinal Evaluation of Fatty Acid Metabolism in Normal and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat Hearts with Dynamic MicroSPECT Imaging

Figure 5

Typically, more trapping of 123I-BMIPP is evident in late 3D static images of the WKY normal hearts (top two rows), compared to the SHR hearts (bottom two rows). Trapping also tends to decrease with age (left column, 7 months; middle column, 14 months; right column, 21 months). SHR B died of congestive heart failure before 21 months. These static images have been normalized to one another by normalizing by the injected dose per unit body weight.
