Effect of β3-adrenergic receptor agonists on [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in brown adipose tissues in positron emission tomography images of elderly patients
In patients aged ≥ 60 years, β3-adrenergic receptor agonist therapy appears to be associated with increased [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG BAT uptake, particularly in the perirenal area.
