K1 values (in mL ccm⁻¹ min⁻¹) derived from ⁶⁸Ga-DOTA uptake after adjustment of the distribution to a 1-tissue compartment model

	Lean	Obese
Pancreas	1.57±0.67	0.14±0.05*
Duodenum	0.14±0.02	0.40±0.21*
Subcutaneous fat	0.08±0.03	0.01±0.01*
Visceral fat	0.02±0.01	0.03±0.01

K1 values were representative for the tissue perfusion and indicated a reduced flow for the pancreas and the subcutaneous fat in the obese animals while there was an increase in the duodenal area.
