Change in maximum target to background ratio (TBRmax) of the most diseased segment (MDS) of the carotid index vessel. A negative number for the change in TBR implies a reduction in activity over time, which is considered an improvement in carotid arterial inflammation. Arterial FDG Uptake provides a measure of inflammation in the artery wall. TBR is target-to-background ratio (a measure of the ratio of the activity in the vessel wall divided by the blood background). The most diseased segment is the approximately 1-cm section of the vessel with the highest activity at baseline. The results are expressed as the change in the mean value, of the TBR, from baseline to 6 months.
Change in plasma citrulline is calculated as log2 of the ratio of plasma citrulline at study end to baseline. Citrulline is a measure of functional small bowel mass, so a positive number is considered an improvement in intestinal epithelial integrity.
Soluble CD14 is a marker of monocyte activation. An increase in soluble CD14 concentration indicates an increase in inflammation.
