Global brain glucose uptake on 18F-FDG-PET/CT is influenced by chronic cardiovascular risk.

abstract：PURPOSE:Increasing evidence, primarily from animal studies and patients with compromised neurotransmitter systems, indicates a possibly important role for dopamine in modulating sleep. We therefore conducted this study to explore the relation between sleep and dopamine in healthy adults. METHODS:We used the Pittsburgh...
