Fluoride tissue distribution: short-term kinetics.

G M Whitford, D H Pashley, K E Reynolds

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Carrier fluoride significantly impacts 18F distribution in rat tissues. Most soft tissues show homogeneous kinetics with plasma, but carrier presence alters 18F uptake, particularly in the femur.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiochemistry
    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Understanding the distribution of radioactive isotopes like Fluorine-18 (18F) is crucial for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications.
    • Carrier fluoride's influence on 18F kinetics is not fully elucidated, potentially affecting biodistribution studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the short-term distribution kinetics of 18F in various rat tissues, both with and without carrier fluoride.
    • To determine if tissues achieve kinetic homogeneity with plasma and how carrier fluoride affects this.

    Main Methods:

    • Intravenous administration of 18F (carrier-free and with carrier) to rats.
    • Tissue sampling from 12 soft tissues and femur at multiple time points (5-60 min) post-injection.
    • Calculation of tissue water-to-plasma (T/P) 18F concentration ratios to assess kinetic homogeneity.

    Main Results:

    • In carrier-free studies, liver, heart, skin, fat, and kidney reached kinetic homogeneity with plasma.
    • The addition of carrier fluoride increased the number of kinetically homogeneous tissues but significantly lowered T/P ratios in nine tissues, notably the femur.
    • Brain, resting skeletal muscle, spleen, and femur did not achieve constant T/P values.

    Conclusions:

    • 18F is not strongly bound by most soft tissues studied and exhibits kinetic homogeneity with plasma.
    • Carrier fluoride significantly influences 18F kinetic behavior and tissue distribution.
    • Fluoride distribution in soft tissues may be governed by the diffusion equilibrium of hydrogen fluoride (HF), influenced by transmembrane pH gradients.
