Abstract
In a population of drug-free bipolar and unipolar depressed women, it was found that the concentration of serotonin sufficient to induce half-maximal shape change velocity in platelets is significantly (p less than 0.001) lower (0.13 +/- 0.0.04 microM) than that of closely matched controls (0.532 +/- 0.1 microM). This platelet concentration becomes higher after 1-3 months of antidepressant treatment (0.47 +/- 0.16 microM). Possible mechanisms for this up- or down-regulation of platelet serotonin receptor responsiveness are discussed.Entities:
