Abstract

Reduced density of the α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α4β2-nAChR) in the cortex and hippocampus of the human brain has been reported in aging and patients with neurodegenerative disease. This study assessed the pharmacokinetic behavior of 18F-(-)-JHU86428 (18F-XTRA), a new radiotracer for in vivo PET imaging of the α4β2-nAChR, particularly in extrathalamic regions of interest in which the α4β2-nAChR is less densely expressed than in thalamus. 18F-XTRA was also used to evaluate the α4β2-nAChR in the hippocampus in human aging. Methods: Seventeen healthy nonsmoker adults (11 men, 6 women; age, 30-82 y) underwent PET neuroimaging over 90 or 180 min in a high-resolution research tomograph after bolus injection of 18F-XTRA. Methods to quantify binding of 18F-XTRA to the α4β2-nAChR in the human brain were compared, and the relationship between age and binding in the hippocampus was tested. Results:18F-XTRA rapidly entered the brain, and time-activity curves peaked within 10 min after injection for extrathalamic regions and at approximately 70 min in the thalamus. The 2-tissue-compartment model (2TCM) predicted the regional time-activity curves better than the 1-tissue-compartment model, and total distribution volume (VT) was ...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Brain Aging

Here is the latest research on intrinsic and extrinsic factors, as well as pathways and mechanisms that underlie aging in the central nervous system.
