Low kidney uptake of GLP-1R-targeting, beta cell-specific PET tracer, (18)F-labeled [Nle(14),Lys(40)]exendin-4 analog, shows promise for clinical imaging

BACKGROUND: Several radiometal-labeled, exendin-based tracers that target glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors (GLP-1R) have been intensively explored for β cell imaging. The main obstacle has been the high uptake of tracer in the kidneys. This study aimed to develop a novel GLP1-R-specific tracer, wit...
