Overeating Behavior and Striatal Dopamine with 6-[(18)F]-Fluoro-L-m-Tyrosine PET

Eating behavior may be affected by dopamine synthesis capacity. In this study, 6-[(18)F]-fluoro-L-m-tyrosine (FMT) positron emission tomography (PET) uptake in striatal subregions was correlated with BMI (kg/m(2)) and an estimate of the frequency of prior weight loss attempts in 15 healthy subjects....
