This study sought to determine whether cannabinoid-1 (CB(1)) receptor binding was altered in the postmortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of individuals with schizophrenia (schizophrenia; n=47) compared to controls (n=43). The CB(1) receptor inverse agonist radioligand [(3)H]MePPEP was used to measure specific binding to CB(1) receptors. The specific binding of [(3)H]MePPEP to CB(1) receptors was 20% higher in patients with schizophrenia than in controls. Power analyses suggested that 53 subjects per group would be needed to detect a similar difference in vivo with positron emission tomography (PET) and the structurally related inverse agonist radioligand [(18)F]FMPEP-d(2) (80% statistical power, p<0.05).
这项研究旨在确定与对照组(n=43)相比,精神分裂症患者(精神分裂症;n=47)死后背外侧前额叶皮质(DLPFC)中的大麻素-1(CB(1))受体结合是否发生改变。使用大麻素-1(CB(1))受体反向激动剂放射性配体 [(3)H]MePPEP 来测量 CB(1)受体的特异性结合。与对照组相比,精神分裂症患者的 [(3)H]MePPEP 与 CB(1)受体的特异性结合高 20%。功效分析表明,每组需要 53 个受试者,才能使用正电子发射断层扫描(PET)和结构上相关的反向激动剂放射性配体 [(18)F]FMPEP-d(2) 检测到类似的差异(80%的统计功效,p<0.05)。
