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

Eating behavior may be affected by dopamine synthesis capacity. In this study, 6-[18F]-fluoro-L-𝑚-tyrosine (FMT) positron emission tomography (PET) uptake in striatal subregions was correlated with BMI (kg/m2) and an estimate of the frequency of prior weight loss attempts in 15 healthy subjects.
