- Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ageing, sex and body mass index (BMI) on translocator protein (TSPO) availability in healthy subjects using positron emission tomography (PET) and the radioligand [C-11]PBR28. Methods [C-11]PBR28 data from 140 healthy volunteers (72 males and 68 females; N = 78 with HAB and N = 62 MAB genotype; age range 19-80 years; BMI range 17.6-36.9) were acquired with High Resolution Research Tomograph at three centres: Karolinska Institutet (N = 53), Turku PET centre (N = 62) and Yale University PET Center (N = 25). The total volume of distribution (V-T) was estimated in global grey matter, frontal, temporal, occipital and parietal cortices, hippocampus and thalamus using multilinear analysis 1. The effects of age, BMI and sex on TSPO availability were investigated using linear mixed effects model, with TSPO genotype and PET centre specified as random intercepts. Results There were significant positive correlations between age and V-T in the frontal and temporal cortex. BMI showed a significant negative correlation with V-T in all regions. Additionally, significant differences between males and females were observed in all regions, with females showing higher V-T. A subgroup analysis revealed a positive correlation between V-T and age in all regions in male subjects, whereas age showed no effect on TSPO levels in female subjects. Conclusion These findings provide evidence that individual biological properties may contribute significantly to the high variation shown in TSPO binding estimates, and suggest that age, BMI and sex can be confounding factors in clinical studies.

- To investigate the occupancy at brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) 1B receptors in human subjects after administration of the antimigraine drug zolmitriptan. Methods Positron emission tomography (PET) studies were undertaken using the radioligand [11C]AZ10419369 in eight control subjects at baseline and after administration of zolmitriptan orodispersible tablets. The subjects were examined after two consecutive administrations of 10 mg zolmitriptan, approximately 1 week apart. Two of the subjects were subsequently examined after administration of 5 mg zolmitriptan. One week after the last administration of zolmitriptan five of the subjects underwent additional PET measurements without drug pretreatment. Results After administration of 10 mg zolmitriptan, mean receptor occupancy was 4–5%. No consistent changes in 5-HT1B receptor binding were observed for subjects who received 5 mg zolmitriptan. There was a statistically significant negative relationship between binding potential ( BPND) and plasma concentration of zolmitriptan and the active metabolite 183C91, respectively. All of the five subjects who were examined 1 week after dosing with zolmitriptan showed higher BPND post drug administration compared with baseline. Conclusion This is the first demonstration of CNS 5-HT1B receptor occupancy of a triptan. The findings are consistent with the low receptor occupancy previously reported in PET studies with agonists at other G protein coupled receptors.
