18F-FDG uptake in the colon is modulated by metformin but not associated with core body temperature and energy expenditure.

18F-FDG uptake in the colon is modulated by metformin but not associated with core body temperature and energy expenditure.

Physiological colonic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake is a frequent finding on 18F-FDG positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET-CT). Interestingly, metformin, a glucose lowering drug associated with moderate weight loss, is also associated with an increased colonic 18F-FDG uptak...
