Platelet serotonin uptake is higher in early-onset than in late-onset alcoholics.
The main objective of this study was to compare platelet serotonin (5-HT) uptake between early-onset alcoholics (EOA) and late-onset alcoholics (LOA). Subjects were 24 dependent male alcoholic in-patients and 21 healthy control subjects. 5-HT uptake was quantified by incubating platelets with [3H]5-HT at various concentrations (0.5 to 1000 nM). 5-HT uptake was higher in EOA, compared to both th...
متن کاملBone mineral density loss in postmenopausal onset rheumatoid arthritis is not greater than premenopausal onset disease
Background: Postmenopausal onset rheumatoid arthritis (post-RA) is expected to have greater bone mineral density (BMD) loss than premenopauasal onset (pre-RA) due to estrogen deficiency and aging. This study aimed to compare the BMD status of the two RA groups with age-matched non-RA controls. Methods: The patients with RA on follow-up examination were stratified according to age of onset. ...

متن کاملThe serotonin transporter availability in untreated early-onset and late-onset patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The pathogenetic role of central serotonin transporters (SERT) in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been investigated in vivo by positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies with inconsistent results. This might reflect methodological differences but possibly also the pathophysiological heterogeneity of the disorder, i.e. the age at onse...
متن کامل99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT Imaging in Early and Late Onset Parkinson’s Disease
Objective(s): 99mTc-TRODAT-1, which binds to the dopamine transporter, could be used to image the dopaminergic system in diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD can be classified into two groups: late onset Parkinson’s disease (LOPD) and early onset Parkinson’s disease (EOPD). In this study we tried to determine the TRODAT SPECT findings in EOPD as compared to LOPD.Methods: Fifteen patients w...
