Regional analysis of age‐related decline in dopamine transporters and dopamine D<sub>2</sub>‐like receptors in human striatum
30 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanisms of age-related decline of dopamine transporter (DAT) and dopamine D(2)-like receptor (D2R) densities in the human striatum by focusing on regional difference. METHODS: Positron emission tomography (PET) with [(11)C]CFT and [(11)C]raclopride for measuring DATs and D2Rs, respectively, was performed on 16 healthy volunteers ranging from 21 to 74...
