Abstract

The feasibility of using 123I-heptadecanoic acid (HDA) as a metabolic tracer was studied. Different administration routes of HDA were compared. An intracoronary bolus injection was given to calves (n = 3), and an intravenous injection was given to patients (n = 4). In addition, we examined the influence of 4-h halothane anesthesia in calves and in patients the impact of an insulin (1.5 IU/kg) + glucose (1.5 g/kg) infusion on the myocardial kinetics of HDA. Data were accumulated with a scintillation probe in calves (t = 50 min) and a gamma camera in patients (t = 70 min). In calves after an intracoronary bolus injection of HDA the myocardial time-activity curve could be described by two exponentials. The mean elimination half-time of the initial phase (ta 1/2) was 7.3 min and that of the second phase (tb 1/2) was 35 min. The ratio of the size of the initial and second component at to was 0.93. Halothane anesthesia prolonged the elimination half-times and reduced the component ratio. The biphasic behavior of the myocardial time-activity curve was maintained in patients after intravenous administration of HDA under basal conditions (initial ta 1/2 = 8.4 min). However, during infusion of insulin + glucose the decline in the myocardial activity was prolonged and monoexponential. This data shows that insulin glucose, interfering with fatty acid metabolism, influences the myocardial washout of HDA, and thus support its use as a metabolic tracer.
