Irbesartan Attenuates Atherosclerosis in Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic Rabbits: Noninvasive Imaging of Inflammation by F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography

Irbesartan Attenuates Atherosclerosis in Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidemic Rabbits: Noninvasive Imaging of Inflammation by F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography

The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ( 18 F-FDG PET) in evaluating the antiatherogenic effects of irbesartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker. Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits were divided into the irbesarta...
