TABLE II.

Human residence time for [11C]MNPA extrapolated from the average of two rhesus monkeys

Residence time (h)
Source organ Monkey no 1 Monkey no 2 Average
Brain 0.029 0.025 0.027
Heart 0.018 0.016 0.017
Liver 0.069 0.080 0.075
Gallbladder 0.011 0.005 0.008
Lungs 0.081 0.088 0.085
Kidneys 0.019 0.007 0.013
Bladder 0.040 0.033 0.037
Remainder of body 0.223 0.236 0.230

The “remainder of body” for each animal was calculated by subtracting the residence times of the source organs from theoretical limit of 0.49h.
