Glucose uptake into skeletal muscle and subcutaneous white adipose tissue
COLD
While BAT is metabolically highly active, it comprises a relatively small percentage of body volume. On the other hand, skeletal muscle (SKM) and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) have a much larger volume and are contributing substantially to total EE. Therefore, we analysed whether the uptake of FDG into these tissues in the neck region is affected by prednisone treatment. In both, SKM and scWAT, prednisone treatment did not significantly change FDG uptake after cold exposure. SUV
