Brief Summary

A PET/MRI imaging protocol (PET/MRE) was developed to allow quantification of radioactivity in a fixed volume of the intestinal tract. The glucose excretion into the intestinal lumen in metformin users was approximately 1.6 g/hour, comparable to the urinary glucose excretion in SGLT2 inhibitor users.
