Representative midbrain coronal in-vivo 18F-FECNT PET images. (A) Baseline, (B) MPTP/vehicle, (C) MPTP/MTEP-treated monkeys. (D) Bar graph showing the percentage of nigrocerebellar 18F-FECNT uptake ratios (means ± SD) for the substantia nigra pars compacta obtained from the five PET scans throughout the study. *P < 0.05 for differences from control, MPTP/vehicle, MPTP/MTEP-treated animals. #P < 0.05 for differences between the vehicle and MTEP-treated animals. CA = associative caudate nucleus; PM = motor putamen; SNC = substantia nigra pars compacta. Scale bar = 10 mm (A–C).
