[Effects of ouabain on 201Tl and 99mTc MIBI kinetics in rat myocardium--in vivo study using miniature CsI detector].
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of ouabain (inhibitor of Na-K ATPase) in the myocardial uptake and clearance of 201Tl and 99mTc MIBI using rats. Time activity curves of three groups were measured by CsI miniature detector for 15 min after the administration of each radiopharmaceutical. Groups were divided as follows; 1) control group (CON group), 2) early phase as 15 min after the administration of ouabain (OU15 group), and 3) late phase as 120 min after the administration of ouabain (OU120 group). Main organs of rats including myocardium were resected at 1 min and 15 min after the administration of 201Tl or 99mTc MIBI under the anesthesia of pento-barbital sodium. The uptake (%ID/g) of 201Tl or 99mTc MIBI was measured by well type scintillation counter. The uptake of 201Tl of OU15 group was significantly higher than CON group (OU15: 10.81 +/- 1.90, CON: 1.86 +/- 0.42) and cleared more rapidly. On the contrary, OU120 group showed lower uptake (1.70 +/- 0.21) and slower clearance than OU15 group. Time activity curve of OU15 group indicated the accelerated washout compared with CON group. However, OU120 group showed significantly the reduced washout (CON group: 19%, OU15 group: 22%, OU120 group: 9%). On the other hand, the uptake and time activity curves of 99mTc MIBI were not influenced by ouabain administration. In conclusion, myocardial uptake and clearance of 99mTc MIBI were not related to Na-K ATPase activity, while those of 201Tl were markedly influenced by Na-K ATPase.
