Platelet alpha 2-adrenoreceptor binding in elderly depressed patients
MC Doyle, AJ George, AV Ravindran and R Philpott
Specific binding of 3H-clonidine to platelet membranes was measured in
depressed elderly patients and in an elderly control group. Maximum
specific binding was significantly higher in depressed patients than in the
control group, whereas the binding affinity was not significantly
different.
