Figure Lengend Snippet: Age and 64 Cu-RYM2 PET/CT in control Apoe −/− mice. A. Illustrative examples of fused 64 Cu-RYM2 PET/contrast-enhanced CT images (axial, coronal, and sagittal) acquired in control young (8–10 weeks) and old (>51 weeks) Apoe −/− mice. Red arrows indicate the suprarenal abdominal aorta. B. Quantification of the 64 Cu-RYM2 signal in the suprarenal abdominal aorta in young and old mice. ***: P < 0.001. SUV: Standardized uptake value.
