Bromocriptine enhances the uptake of 99mTc-MIBI in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
99mTc-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (MIBI) is a suitable transport substrate for the multidrug resistance gene product P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and widely used for tumor imaging. Bromocriptine has been shown to inhibit the ATPase activity and the function of P-gp. We hypothesized that bromocriptine could...
