The aim of this study was to explain the contribution of mitochondria to the accumulation of 99mTc-meso-hexamethyl propyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) in the brain, after examinations were performed. ⋯ Mitochondria are a major subcellular fraction for the uptake of 99mTc-meso-HMPAO by the brain, and GSH in mitochondria contributes to the accumulation of 99mTc-meso-HMPAO.
