The effect of aging on aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD) activity in rhesus monkey striatum was assessed in vivo using PET imaging. Two analogs of L-DOPA, 6-fluoro-m-tyrosine (FMT) and 6-fluoro-L-DOPA (FDOPA), were used to image rhesus monkeys of various ages. Results show that when the ani

The purpose of this study was to address four major questions regarding 6-FMT, a noncatecholic PET tracer for AAAD: 1) Where is the specific uptake of 6-FMT? 2) Why does it accumulate where and to the degree that it does? 3) How does its uptake differ from that of fluoroDOPA globally? and 4) Does it

Aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) are involved in the synthesis of dopamine and other monoamine neurotransmitters, and their activities can be regulated by a number of physiological stimuli. An interesting finding has been that (2)-deprenyl and some other irrev

The pyridoxal-5Ј-phosphate-dependent enzymes (B 6 enzymes) are grouped into three main families named ␣, ␤, and ␥. Proteins in the ␣ and ␥ families share the same fold and might be distantly related, while those in the ␤ family exhibit specific structural features. The rat aromatic L-amino acid deca

The present study examined the effects of the antiparkinsonian drug budipine on dopamine synthesis and release from L-DOPA in the substantia nigra of reserpine-treated rats. Budipine (at 100 microM, but not 10 microM) applied by reverse dialysis to the nigra caused a small and significant rise in do
