Research Abstract |
If a decrease in the amount of pancreatic islets and the amount of pancreatic.-cells can be detected at an early stage, there is a possibility for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Therefore, a noninvasive technique for imaging of pancreatic islets, particularly a noninvasive technique for imaging of pancreatic islets for determining the amount of the pancreatic islets and the amount of pancreatic.-cells, has been desired for the prevention and diagnosis of diabetes. Among these, a molecular probe that enables the imaging of pancreatic islets, preferably the pancreatic.-cell imaging, has been desired in particular. In designing a molecular probe for imaging of pancreatic.-cells, various targets molecule in pancreatic islet cells, particularly functional proteins specific in the.-cells, are being researched. Among these, GLP-1R and GPR40 are being researched as a target molecule. These data suggest that[111In] K4-Ex4 and[125I] ARKM-405 can be a potential candidate as a SPECT tracer for measuringβ-cell mass in pancreatic islets.
