GBP action sites in the brain. Statistical t-map of PET images showed significant increases (warm color) and decreases (cold color) of glucose uptake in the brains of SNI (upper rows) or sham (lower rows) rats between the first and second scan, (A) SNI vs. naïve and (C) Sham vs. naïve, or the second and third scan, (B) GBP vs. SNI and (D) GBP vs. Sham. The PET scans are superimposed on the coronal sections of the brain. L and R indicate the left (ipsilateral) and right (contralateral) brain, respectively. SNI group, n = 12; Sham group, n = 10.
