Megjegyzések:	Background: Little is known about serotonin neurons in Parkinson disease (PD). Objective: To study the serotonin system in PD with positron emission tomography, using the serotonin transporter radioligand [C-11](+)McN5652. Design and Patients: We measured the density of the serotonin transporter and the density of [C-11]WIN35 428-labeled dopamine transporters in the striatum of 13 adults with PD and 13 age- and sex-matched controls. To assess the effects of possible differences in blood flow or brain atrophy, we also measured regional cerebral blood flow and the size of the regions of interest for the caudate nucleus and putamen. Results: Patients with PD showed reductions in the specific distribution volumes of [C-11] (+)McN5652 in the caudate (P<.01) and putamen (P<.01), along with the expected reductions in striatal [C-11]WIN35428 binding (P<.01). There were no reductions in regional cerebral blood flow or the sizes of the regions of interest, mitigating against potential confounding effects of blood flow, brain atrophy, or partial volume effects. Reductions in serotonin transporter binding correlated with ratings of disease staging. Conclusions: These results suggest that the density of serotonin transporters, like that of dopamine transporters, is reduced in the striatum of patients with PD and that these changes are related to disease stage.

Cím:	Positron emission tomography imaging of the serotonin transporter in subjects with a history of alcoholism / Zsolt Szabo, Taofeek Owonikoko, Mark Peyrot, Jozsef Varga, William B. Mathews, Hayden T. Ravert, Robert F. Dannals, Gary Wand

Megjegyzések:	Our purpose was to investigate the serotonin transporter (SERT) in various brain regions of alcoholics using positron emission tomography and C-11 McN5652. METHOD: Thirty-two adult subjects were involved, 17 social drinkers as control subjects and 15 subjects who were abstinent or recovering alcoholics. Concomitant psychiatric diseases were ruled out based on DSM-IV criteria. The majority of subjects were men. Radioligand binding in 11 brain areas was expressed as the total distribution volume (DV), distribution volume of specific binding (DV(spec)), and distribution volume ratio (DVR). The cerebellum was used as reference tissue for calculation of DV(spec) and DVR. RESULTS: In subjects with a history of alcoholism, DV was lower in all brain regions, with significant differences in the midbrain, thalamus, amygdala, pons, cingulate gyrus, frontal cortex, and cerebellum. Additionally, DV(spec) was lower in all brain regions, but differences were only significant in the midbrain; DVR was lower in nine regions but the differences did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS: These studies demonstrate lower binding of [(11)C](+)McN5652 to the SERT in the brain of abstinent or recovering alcoholics compared with control subjects. Differences in the radioligand distribution volumes are more significant before than after correction for nonspecific binding of the radioligand.
