Study design Rats were fed a high-fat high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet for one week (early non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD) or twelve weeks (late NAFLD) with corresponding control groups on a standard diet. Following an intravenous bolus injection of 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-galactose (18F-FDGal), half of the animals in each of the four groups were investigated in vivo by a dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) recording and all animal livers by post mortem autoradiography
