Evaluation of Intraperitoneal [18F]-FDOPA Administration for Micro-PET Imaging in Mice and Assessment of the Effect of Subchronic Ketamine Dosing on Dopamine Synthesis Capacity

Figure 1

Time-activity curves and SUVR showing the effect of the radiotracer injection method on [18F]-FDOPA uptake and loss over time. (a, b) TAC showing SUV of [18F]-FDOPA activity over time within the right striatum (blue circles), left striatum (green squares), and cerebellum (red triangles) following intravenous ((a) i.v., ) or intraperitoneal ((b) i.p., ) administration. Values are mean  (c). SUV ratio (SUVR) between the striatum (Str) and cerebellum (Cer) over time following i.v. or i.p. injection. Dashed lines show the best-fit linear regression. Values are
