Objective: As anorectic and bulimic patients present similar clinical and neurobiological symptoms, the purpose of this study was to compare brain glucose metabolism at rest in these patients. Method: Positron emission tomography with (18-F)-fluorodeoxyglucose was used to evaluate cerebral glucose m

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) was studied with positron emission tomography (PET) and H 2 15 O in the quadriceps muscle of 11 men. The subjects were submitted to simultaneous bilateral isometric contraction (5 s)-rest (5 s) cycles for 12 min, with a workload corresponding to 5% of quad
We measured 6-[ 18 F]fluoro-L-DOPA (FDOPA) uptake and metabolism in the brain of 4-month-old female pigs (n Ο 8) using a high-resolution positron emission tomograph (PET) in 3D mode. The mean net blood-brain clearance of FDOPA (K i D ) to striatum was 0.011 ml g -1 min -1 . Correcting for the elimin
Animal studies and results from 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with cirrhosis and minimal hepatic encephalopathy suggest that a disturbed brain ammonia metabolism plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). We studied brain ammonia kinetics in
The present study evaluated short-and long-term effects of MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) in the baboon brain using PET and [ 11 C](Ο©)McN 5652, a potent 5-HT transporter ligand, as well as [ 11 C]RTI-55, a cocaine derivative which labels both 5-HT and dopamine transporters. Following basel
The regional myocardial uptake and kinetics of 11 C-lidocaine, 11 C-bupivacaine, and 11 C-ropivacaine were examined in the pig, utilizing positron emission tomography to determine whether disproportionate distribution exists among these agents. The three drugs were rapidly distributed to the myocar
