Donepezil- and scopolamine-induced rCMRglu changes assessed by PET in conscious rhesus monkeys
2009
Objective
[18F]Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is a useful tool for measuring the regional cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (rCMRglu), which is an index of neuronal activity. Donepezil, an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor (AChEI), has been recommended as a treatment option for patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We aimed to characterize the effects of donepezil on rCMRglu using FDG-PET in non-human primates.
