Figure 6.
Effect of hypothermia and hypoxia on (a) [18F]FDG uptake rate and (b,c) cell viability of the RHEM. Living cells were determined using an MTT assay (b) during and (c) post treatment, and expressed as a percentage of the non-treated cells. The [18F]FDG uptake rate (∆nGy/pixel/min) and cell viability (%) are expressed as mean ± SEM of four tissues. Statistical significance was determined using a non-parametric test (Steel test). Asterisks indicates *p < 0.05 or **p < 0.01.
