Choice of anesthesia and pre-conditioning affect not only [18F] FDG uptake but also kinetics and regional distribution in the mouse brain. Both anesthesia and pre-conditioning should be carefully considered in the interpretation of [18F] FDG studies due to its great influence on the uptake and distribution of the tracer along the brain regions.
