Presynaptic serotonin function in social phobia(Ina Marteinsdottir et al 2001)
Method: Statistical evaluation of PET with 5-hydroxy- tryptophan by a pixel wise blocked analysis of variance contrasting differences between patients and controls.
Results: A a focal hyposerotonergic tonus in social phobics as compared to controls was evident in temporal cortex (periamygdala/rhinal, temporal pole and gyrus); frontal cortex, anterior cingulatae, right insula and left basal ganglia.

Uppsala University PET Centre
Regulation of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase activity for L-DOPA and 5-
hydroxytryptophan• Several mechanisms regulate amino acid transport to the brain
and presynaptic synthesis serotonin
• Synthesis of serotonin may be regulated by a similar decarboxylase enzyme but with different selectivity
• Modulating effect of enzyme co-factors e.g. tetrahydrobiopte-rin and vitamin B6 varied for the two transmitters
• Capacity limitation in transport and enzyme activity for 5HTP
• Limited capacity of amino acid transport may influence serotonin function with special impact in affective disorders
![Page 32: Uppsala University PET Centre Per Hartvig, Uppsala University PET Centre Central dopaminergic and serotonergic function studied with positron emission](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d585503460f94a379ad/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Uppsala University PET Centre
What is measured with 5-HTP and PET ?
• 11C-labelling in carboxy and -position of 5-HTP• Blockade of central decarboxylase with NSD1015• Bioanalysis of brain radioactivity using rat brain
homogenate by HPLC shows radiolabelled 5-HTP, serotonin and metabolites
• Calculated rates analysed of brain radioactivity in rat brain are similar to rates measured in monkey and man with 5-HTP and PET
![Page 33: Uppsala University PET Centre Per Hartvig, Uppsala University PET Centre Central dopaminergic and serotonergic function studied with positron emission](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d585503460f94a379ad/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Uppsala University PET Centre
Calculation of decarboxylation rate
• Brain reference region after validation of accumulation (Patlack plot, Hartvig et al 1992)
• Simulation of a brain refrence region with negligable 5HT synthesis gives rates close to measured (Blomquist et al 2001)
• Plasma as reference with metabolite correction shows regional 5HT rates in accordance with AADC activity (Hagberg et al JBFM, 2002)
![Page 34: Uppsala University PET Centre Per Hartvig, Uppsala University PET Centre Central dopaminergic and serotonergic function studied with positron emission](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649d585503460f94a379ad/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Uppsala University PET Centre
• Rapid in vivo metabolism to radiolabelled products• Low plasma concentration of radioactivity • Serotonergic activity in most brain areas - no obvious
reference area in the brain • Steady state in the brain not established in 15-20 min• Limited capacity for transport over BBB and for
synthesis• Use of tracer may occur in non-serotonergic neurons
Limitations in studies with 5-hydroxy [11C]tryptophan
