Popis: Background & Aims: It is not known how hepatic bile acids transport kinetics changes postprandially in the intact liver. We used positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) with the tracer [N-methyl-11C]cholylsarcosine (11C-CSar), a synthetic sarcosine conjugate of cholic acid, to quantify fasting and postprandial hepatic bile acid transport kinetics in healthy human participants. Methods: Six healthy human participants underwent dynamic liver 11C-CSar PET/CT (60 min) during fasting and from 15 min after ingestion of a standard liquid meal. Hepatobiliary secretion kinetics of 11C-CSar was calculated from PET data, blood samples (arterial and hepatic venous) and hepatic blood flow measured using indocyanine green infusion. Results: In the postprandial state, hepatic blood perfusion increased on average by 30% (p
