Decreased platelet 3H-imipramine binding sites in classical migraine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patients with classical migraine investigated between attacks had significantly fewer platelet 3H-imipramine binding sites than control subjects and this finding was more marked in males than in females. There was no abnormality of binding characteristics of platelet 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors or of platelet alpha 2-adrenoceptors. Because the reduced 3H-imipramine binding capacity was found in classical migraineurs who were investigated between attacks, it may reflect a predisposition to migraine rather than being a consequence of attacks.

Dithiothreithol promotes a higher affinity state of the serotonin transporter for the tricyclic antidepressant, imipramine.
Neurotransmitter transporters are present in nerve terminal membranes and are responsible for the inactivation of released neurotransmitter by reuptake. One such transporter is the serotonin transporter which also represents the site of action of many clinically used tricyclic antidepressants, such as imipramine. Recently, most of the known Na+-dependent neurotransmitter transporters have been ...
متن کاملSubstrate and inhibitor binding and translocation by the platelet plasma membrane serotonin transporter.
The Na+ and Cl- dependence of imipramine binding and dissociation were determined in platelet plasma membrane vesicles. Equilibrium imipramine binding affinity depends on Na+ binding to two non-interacting, low-affinity sites. Binding of a single Cl- ion also enhances imipramine affinity. Imipramine dissociation is inhibited by Na+ and Cl-, indicating that both ions can bind after imipramine. O...
متن کاملQuantitative autoradiographic localization of [3H]imipramine binding sites in the brain of the rat: relationship to ascending 5-hydroxytryptamine neuron systems.
Quantitative autoradiography shows that there is a close relationship between [3H]imipramine binding sites and the distribution of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurons in the rat brain. High labeling is observed in the midbrain raphe nuclei, the areas of the dopamine cell groups of the substantia nigra and of the ventral tegmental area of Tsai, the ventral amygdaloid nucleus, the midline thalamic...
متن کاملEvidence for the existence of at least two different binding sites for 5HT-reuptake inhibitors within the 5HT-reuptake system from human platelets.
Chemical modification procedures have been used to study the interaction of tricyclic and non-tricyclic 5HT-reuptake inhibitors with the [3H]imipramine binding site (IBS). N-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) induced a pronounced loss in [3H]imipramine binding due to a reduction in Bmax. Preincubation with reuptake inhibitors and subsequent inactivation by EEDQ revealed that im...

3H-imipramine binding in 39 drug-free patients with major depression and 44 healthy controls did not differ significantly between the two groups, in male or female subjects or in subgroups of depressed patients divided by endogenicity or dexamethasone suppression test result. 3H-imipramine binding in depressed patients drug-free for less than three weeks did not differ from those drug-free for ...
