Use of positron emission tomography for real-time imaging of biodistribution of green tea catechin.

Use of positron emission tomography for real-time imaging of biodistribution of green tea catechin.

The aim of this study was to achieve real-time imaging of the in vivo behavior of a green tea polyphenol, catechin, by positron emission tomography (PET). Positron-labeled 4″ -[(11)C]methyl-epigallocatechin gallate ([(11)C]Me-EGCG) was orally administered to rats, and its biodistribution was imaged...
