Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>PET images will be analysed using PMOD software (PMOD technologies, Zurich,<br /><br>Switzerland, version 4.1). Predefined brain regions based on a maximum<br /><br>probability map are selected as volumes of interest (VOIs). Tracer kinetics of<br /><br>[18F]MC225 reflect the BBB P-gp function and will be assessed as outcome<br /><br>measure for P-gp efflux function. Those will be compared in between the groups<br /><br>of male and female subjects.</p><br>
