Outline of Final Research Achievements

To establish a method to quantify density of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 in human brain, which is related to the interaction between glutamatergic and dopaminergic neurons, we evaluated a new PET ligand, 11C-(E)ABP688, in healthy volunteers as a test-retest study in a same day. As results, distribution volume of 11C-(E)ABP688 was well estimated, and its regional distribution was consistent with the know distribution of the receptor. However, its reproducibility was poor that 30% decrease in the distribution volume was observed in the afternoon compared to in the morning.
