Abstract

Objective The sigma(1) receptor is considered to be involved in cognitive function. A postmortem study reported that the sigma(1) receptors were reduced in the hippocampus in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, in vivo imaging of sigma(1) receptors in the brain of AD patients has not been reported. The aim of this study is to investigate the mapping of sigma(1) receptors in AD using [(11)C]SA4503 positron emission tomography (PET).Methods We studied five AD patients and seven elderly volunteers. A dynamic series of decay-corrected PET data acquisition was performed for 90 min starting at the time of the injection of 500 MBq of [(11)C]SA4503. A two-tissue three-compartment model was used to estimate K (1), k (2), k (3), k (4), and the delay between metabolite-corrected plasma and tissue time activity using a Gauss-Newton algorithm. The ratio of k (3) to k (4) was computed as the binding potential (BP), which is linearly related to the density of sigma(1) receptors. Unpaired t tests were used to compare K (1) and BP in patients with AD and normal subjects.Results As compared with normals, BP in the AD was significantly lower in the frontal, temporal, and occipital lobe, cerebellum and thalamus, whereas K (1) was significantly lower in the parietal lobe.Conclusions [(11)C]SA4503 PET can demonstrate that the density of cerebral and cerebellar sigma(1) receptors is reduced in early AD.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In very early phases of AD, a significant loss of σ1R occurs in the brain.

    “Instead, in the very early phases of AD, a significant loss of σ1R occurs in the brain [115,116].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
