Open AccessGastrin-releasing peptide receptor-based targeting using bombesin analogues is superior to metabolism-based targeting using choline for in vivo imaging of human prostate cancer xenografts
Prostate cancer (PC) is a major health problem. Overexpression of the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) in PC, but not in the hyperplastic prostate, provides a promising target for staging and monitori...

The Role of Radioactive Somatostatin and Its Analogues in the Control of Tumor Growth
Peptide receptor scintigraphy with the radioactive somatostatin analogue [111In-DTPA-D-Phe1] octreotide is a sensitive and specific technique to show in vivo the presence and abundance of somatostatin receptors o...

Visualization of the thymus by substance P receptor scintigraphy in man
Substance P, an 11-amino acid neuropeptide, has an important role in modulating pain transmission through neurokinin 1 and 2 receptors. Substance P and other tachykinins may also play a role in the pathogenesi...

A new radiolabelled somatostatin analogue [111In-DTPA-D-Phe1]RC-160: preparation, biological activity, receptor scintigraphy in rats and comparison with [111In-DTPA-D-Phe1]octreotide
We have evaluated the potential usefulness of indium-111 labelled [DTPA-D-Phe1]RC-160, derived from the octapeptide somatostatin analogue RC-160, as a radiopharmaceutical for the in vivo detection of somatostatin...

Radioiodinated somatostatin analogue RC-160: preparation, biological activity, in vivo application in rats and comparison with [123I-Tyr3]octreotide
We have evaluated the potential usefulness of the radioiodinated octapeptide RC-160, a somatostatin analogue, which might serve as a radiopharmaceutical for the in vivo detection of somatostatin receptor-posit...

Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy with [111In-DTPA-d-Phe1]- and [123I-Tyr3]-octreotide: the Rotterdam experience with more than 1000 patients
Various tumours, classically specified as either neuroendocrine or non-neuroendocrine, contain high numbers of somatostatin receptors, which enable in vivo localization of the primary tumour and its metastases...

Octreotide scintigraphy localizes somatostatin receptor-positive islet cell carcinomas
Tyr-3-Octreotide is a synthetic derivative of somatostatin and a somatostatin-receptor analogue. The iodine-123-labelled compound localizes somatostatin-receptor-positive tumours. In this paper two patients ar...

Myocardial substrate utilization and hemodynamics following repeated coronary flow reduction in pigs
The effect of repeated local ischemia and reperfusion on myocardial metabolism and ventricular performance was studied in 12 open-chested pigs fasted overnight. Myocardial ischemia was induced by reduction of ...
