In-vivo Imaging of Mitochondrial Depolarization of Myocardium With Positron Emission Tomography and a Proton Gradient Uncoupler

BackgroundWe recently reported a method using positron emission tomography (PET) and the tracer 18F-labeled tetraphenylphosphonium (18F-TPP+) for mapping the tissue (i.e., cellular plus mitochondrial) membrane potential (ΔΨT) in the myocardium. The purpose of this work is to provide additional exper...
