The time course of metabolites in human plasma after 6-[18F]fluoro-l-m-tyrosine administration
Abstract
Abstract. For the investigation of intracerebral dopamine metabolism, 6-[18F]fluoro-l-m-tyrosine (FmT) has been proposed as an alternative tracer that, unlike 6-[18F]fluoro-l-dopa, is not subjected to O-methylation. We have studied the time course of FmT and its labelled metabolites in plasma after intravenous injection into humans, employing a method that we have developed and validated to analyze labelled metabolites of FmT in plasma. The …
