Figure 3.
Correlation of MET-PET maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) with L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) mRNA expression. MET SUVmax exhibited a strong positive correlation with glucose transporter LAT1 mRNA (r=0.931, P=0.0009). MET, L-[methyl-11C]-methionine; PET, positron emission tomography.
