  • * P < 0.001 (Student t test, compared with control).

  • P < 0.01 (Student t test, compared with control).

  • %ID/g in striatum rich in corresponding receptors was 4.99 ± 0.46.

  • %ID/g in striatum rich in corresponding receptors was 5.30 ± 0.72.

  • § Data are quoted or recalculated from the original reports, where assay 1 was performed on rats and levels of radioactivity in frontal cortex (14), hippocampus (15), whole brain (16), or neocortex (17) and plasma, instead of blood, were expressed as standardized uptake value: (radioactivity of tissue/gram of tissue)/(total injected radioactivity/gram of whole-body weight). Significant modulation by CsA was reported for 4 radioligands but not 11C-SA4503.

  • Data are mean ± SD (n = 4–6).
