Uptake and distribution of transplanted mitochondria. 18F-Rhodamine 6G labeled mitochondria (1 × 109 in 0.5 mL respiration) were delivered antegrade to the coronary arteries via injection to the coronary ostium using a tuberculin syringe with a 30 G needle. Ten minutes after the injection animals were euthanized in CO2 chamber and examined using positron emission tomography (PET) and microcomputed tomography (μCT). 18F-Rhodamine 6G labeled mitochondria were distributed throughout the heart and were not detectable in any other region of the body. Images are shown for (A) transverse, (B) sagittal, (C) coronal and (D) 3D reconstructed views.
