Cplasma kBq/ml | 1.92±0.51 | 2.02±0.38 | 0.50 | 1.88±0.52 | 1.95±0.52 |
fp % | 0.31±0.16 | 0.36±0.13 | 0.38 | 0.26±0.15 | 0.35±0.16 |
BPP: binding potential of specific [18F]altanserin binding; Cplasma: steady state activity of non-metabolized [18F]altanserin in plasma; fp: free (non-protein bound) fraction of [18F]altanserin in plasma; MZ: monozygotic; DZ: dizygotic. Non-specific binding is the volume-weighted average partial volume corrected counts per second in the cerebellum gray-matter divided by Cplasma; statistics: for the total high-risk and low-risk groups, differences in numerical variables were tested by unpaired t-tests. Data for the high-risk subgroups are included for descriptive purposes.
