Chronic renal failure (CRF) patients on dialysis frequently show reduced heart rate
variability (HRV), which has been reported to be corrected by renal transplantation …

The transport of MIBG by the human norepinephrine transporter (hNET) seems to be the
critical step in the treatment of MIBG-concentrating tumors. Therefore, we investigated …

Examines the role of the ANS in the maintenance and control of bodily homeostasis, as well

Symptoms or signs of abnormal autonomic nervous system function occur commonly in
several neurological disorders. Clinical evaluations have depended on physiological …

Neuronal reuptake (uptake-1) constitutes the main route of inactivation of the sympathetic
neurotransmitter norepinephrine in the heart and therefore contributes importantly to cardiac …

Objectives Small animal imaging with meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) allows
characterization of animal models, optimization of tumor treatment strategies, and monitoring …

Background In several disease models it is known that heterogeneous dysinnervation
occurs in the sympathetic nervous system. We therefore adapted the 123I‐MIBG imaging …

Background Little is known concerning the significance of lung activity of the sympathetic
