| 1 | Analysis of [C-11]alpha-methyl-tryptophan kinetics for the estimation of serotonin synthesis rate in vivo. | Serotonin | RNA polymerase III subunit K | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | We describe the tracer kinetic analysis of [C-11]-labeled alpha-methyl-tryptophan (AMT), an analogue of tryptophan, which has been developed as a tracer for serotonin synthesis using positron emission tomography (PET) in human brain. | Serotonin | RNA polymerase III subunit K | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | These results indicate that the Patlak-plot method can be readily applied to [C-11]AMT data in order to create functional images of the K-complex, reflecting serotonin synthesis rate, within an acceptable error margin. | Serotonin | RNA polymerase III subunit K | Homo sapiens |
