Muscle protein synthesis by positron-emission tomography with L-[methyl-11C]methionine in adult humans.
Existing methods for assessing protein synthetic rates (PSRs) in human skeletal muscle are invasive and do not readily provide information about individual muscle groups. Recent studies in canine skeletal muscle yielded PSRs similar to results of simultaneous stable isotope measurements using L-[1-13C, methyl-2H3]methionine, suggesting that positron-emission tomography (PET) with L-[methyl-11C]...
متن کاملMeasurement of protein flux with positron emission tomography in neonates.
AIM To determine whether abnormal transvascular protein flux can be measured with positron emission tomography (PET) in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). METHODS Fourteen infants with normal gas exchange (non-RDS group) underwent one PET measurement and 12 infants with RDS (the RDS group) underwent two measurements of protein flux, as determined by the pulmonary transcapillar...
متن کاملEpithelioid sarcoma with muscle metastasis detected by positron emission tomography
BACKGROUND Epithelioid sarcoma is an uncommon high-grade sarcoma, mostly involving the extremities. CASE PRESENTATION A 33-year-old man was referred to our institute with a diagnosis of Volkmann's contracture with the symptom of flexion contracture of the fingers associated with swelling in his left forearm. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed abnormal signal intensity, comprising iso-sig...
متن کاملImaging Cellular Proliferation in Prostate Cancer with Positron Emission Tomography
Prostate cancer remains a major public health problem worldwide. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of disease at all its clinical phases, including staging, restaging after definitive therapy, evaluation of therapy response, and prognostication. Positron emission tomography with a number of biologically targeted radiotracers has been demonstrated to have potential diagnostic and...
متن کاملValidation of renal oxidative metabolism measurement by positron-emission tomography.
Either in research or in clinical practice, the exploration of renal oxidative metabolism is limited by the lack of noninvasive measurement. Positron-emission tomography using carbon-11 acetate may estimate tissue oxidative metabolism by measuring acetate turnover in the Krebs cycle. Although extensively studied in cardiology, this method has never been validated for renal oxidative metabolism ...
