Metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy of cardiac sympathetic innervation.
Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), a noradrenaline analogue,labelled with radioactive iodine I-123 is used for assessing pre-synaptic activity of the myocardial adrenergic system. The paper describes the mechanism of myocardial I-123-MIBG uptake and the relevant examination methods. It also refers to the necessity of standardising acquisition methods and assessment criteria in order to improve com...
متن کاملSympathetic innervation of human muscle spindles
The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of sympathetic innervation in human muscle spindles, using antibodies against neuropeptide Y (NPY), NPY receptors and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). A total of 232 muscle spindles were immunohistochemically examined. NPY and NPY receptors were found on the intrafusal fibers, on the blood vessels supplying muscle spindles and on free nerve...
متن کاملEpicardium-Derived Heart Repair
In the last decade, cell replacement therapy has emerged as a potential approach to treat patients suffering from myocardial infarction (MI). The transplantation or local stimulation of progenitor cells with the ability to form new cardiac tissue provides a novel strategy to overcome the massive loss of myocardium after MI. In this regard the epicardium, the outer layer of the heart, is a tract...
متن کاملVascular-derived artemin: a determinant of vascular sympathetic innervation?
Vascular sympathetic innervation is an important determinant of blood pressure and blood flow. The mechanisms that determine vascular sympathetic innervation are not well understood. The present study tests the hypothesis that vascular-derived artemin promotes the development of sympathetic innervation to blood vessels by promoting sympathetic axon growth. RT-PCR and Western analyses indicate t...
متن کاملPositron emission tomographic imaging of cardiac sympathetic innervation and function.
Sites of uptake, storage, and metabolism of [18F]fluorodopamine and excretion of [18F]fluorodopamine and its metabolites were visualized using positron emission tomographic (PET) scanning after intravenous injection of the tracer into anesthetized dogs. Radioactivity was concentrated in the renal pelvis, heart, liver, spleen, salivary glands, and gall bladder. Uptake of 18F by the heart resulte...
