Abstract

Endocrine function impairment with adipokine disbalance and decreasing adiponectin production is key point of atherosclerosis development with endothelial inflammation and dysfunction. Precise estimation of adipose tissue and brown fat by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and FDG PET/CT with pharmacological stimulation by β3-adrenoceptor agonist allow more accurately characterize degree of adipokine imbalance and be independent atherosclerosis risk factor. Positron emission tomography is one of most sensitive and accurate methods for atherosclerosis plaque assessment with some radiopharmaceuticals, include 18F-FDG, 18F-sodium fluoride and 68Ga radiopharmaceuticals.
