Background—The frequent provocation of ventricular tachycardia by stress or
catecholamines and the efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs with antiadrenergic properties …

Beta-adrenoceptors are predominantly located in the cerebral cortex, nucleus accumbens
and striatum. At lower densities, they are also present in amygdala, hippocampus and …

In many ways, the lung is an ideal organ for study with positron emission tomography (PET).
First, structure-function relations are homogeneous over larger areas than in other organs …

In human subjects, chronic beta2-agonist dosing reduces mononuclear leukocyte (MNL)
beta-adrenoceptor numbers. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this …

Previous studies showed that the in vivo concentration of β-adrenergic receptor sites can be
estimated by PET using (−)-4-((S)-3-tert-butylamino-2-hydroxypropoxy)-1, 3 …

The aim of this study was to determine whether the β-adrenoceptor receptor density (B max)
and the ligand affinity (KD) of (S)-[11 C] CGP 12388 for the β-adrenoceptor receptor could …

Myocardial and pulmonary β-adrenoceptors can be imaged and quantified with the
antagonist (S)-4-[3 [(1, 1-dimethylethyl) amino]-2-hydroxypropoxy]-1, 3-dihydro-2H …

This review focuses on positron emission tomography (PET)-imaging of receptors in the
sympathetic and the parasympathetic systems of heart and lung and highlights the human …

Written by recognized authorities on thoracic imaging, this volume is the first to examine all
modalities—both noninvasive and invasive—for visualizing the airways. Emphasis is placed …

To examine whether there is a primary deficit in beta-adrenoceptor density in asthma,
pulmonary and cardiac beta-receptor density was determined in vivo with positron emission …
