17-Iodine-123 iodoheptadecanoic acid for metabolic liver studies in humans.
(17-123I)-Iodoheptadecanoic acid ([123I]HA) was used for dynamic planar scintigraphy of the liver in normal individuals (control I), in patients without liver disease but with elevated serum cholesterol and/or triglycerides (control II), and in patient groups with alcohol-induced fatty liver (PG I), fatty liver not due to alcohol (PG II), alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis (PG III), or liver cirrhosis of the posthepatitic type (PG IV). Tracer uptake and elimination time were assayed in different liver regions; mean elimination time was expressed for total liver. In control I, tracer uptake was homogeneous, and mean elimination time was 20.7 +/- 5.3 min without significant local variations. In control II, tracer uptake was reduced but homogeneous and mean elimination time was 59.4 +/- 35.8 min with some local variations. In PG I, uptake was reduced and inhomogeneous and elimination time was the same as in control I, irrespective of cholesterol and triglyceride values. In PG II, uptake was the same as in PG I but mean elimination time was 48 +/- 8.1 min with some local variations. In PG III, uptake was extremely reduced and spotty and elimination time correlated with the severity of disease from 19 to 881 min in different liver regions.

Fast, low-temperature preparation of carrier-free 17-123I-heptadecanoic acid applied for liver and heart scintigraphy.
A high-yield method for labelling 17-I-heptadecanoic acid with 123I is described, and a clinical evaluation of the radiopharmaceutical is given. The labelling procedure is based on the use of a conventional ultrasonic bath. It was found that the addition of thiosulphate to the reaction medium avoids the formation of labelled side products and increases the yield considerably. The carrier-free 17-123I-heptadecanoic acid (2 mCi) in 6% human serum albumin was injected IV for heart and liver studies on selected patients with cirrhosis (alcoholic, post-necrotic) and diabetes.
