Dopamine uptake transporters (DAT) binding values.
CN right | CN left | PT right | PT left | |
---|---|---|---|---|
PD | 1.21±0.16 (0.99–1.51)* | 1.2±0.18 (0.99–1.46)* | 1.74±0.26 (1.2–2.1)* | 1.92±0.32 (1.47–2.42)* |
HC | 1.77±0.29 (1.15–2.1) | 1.59±0.33 (1.19–2.04) | 2.54±0.32 (1.85–3.04) | 2.79±0.35 (2.06–3.47) |
Subjects with Parkinson disease (PD) showed a significant reduction of DAT binding values in both the Caudate nucleus (CN) and Putamen (PT) bilaterally when compared to a group of 15 healthy controls (HC). Data are reported as mean ±SD and range (in brackets).
