Figure 1

Uptake and retention in beta cells of [11C]DHTP (left panel) and [11C]HTP (right panel). [11C]DHTP had increased retention in the neuroendocrine cell line INS-1 compared to [11C]HTP as measured by the slope of linear regression. Inhibition of MAO-A increased the retention of [11C]HTP at all time points, but only at a single time point for [11C]DHTP. Stars indicate increase of tracer uptake after MAO-A inhibition as compared to baseline.
