Abstract

Purpose: Post-synaptic dopamine D2/3 receptors are reduced in animal models of obesity, and in obese humans, concordant with similar findings in habitual drug users. However, corresponding pre-synaptic changes in brain dopamine are less documented in obesity models. Therefore, we used positron emission tomography (PET) with the dopamine transporter (DAT) ligand N-(3-[18F]fluoropropyl)-2-β-carbomethoxy-3-β-(4′-methylphenyl) tropane ([18F]FP-CMT) to test the hypothesis that DAT availability is attenuated in adult fatty Zucker (FZ) rats versus lean littermates (LZ).
