Official Title: A Proof-of-concept Study Evaluating the Microbiota-gut-brain Axis
Brief Summary:
The concept of "Microbiota-gut-brain axis" has long been elucidated.However, only few microbiota-related radionuclide imaging studies have been published.The etiology of physiologic bowel FDG uptake is not fully understood.Some previous studies suggested that bacteria play a role in accumulating FDG and the variability of intestinal FDG activity may rely on a specific type of bacteria in the lumen.It is unclear if FDG transfer from the blood to the bowel lumen through a transcellular or paracellular…
