Uptake and release of 14 C-5-hydroxytryptamine by platelets in affective illness.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the search for paradigms of postulated abnormalities in indolamine function in the brain in affective disorders, 5-HT uptake and release was estimated in platelets from patients suffering from severe depressive illness. Neither of these measures was altered by the illness and the most likely explanation for the negative findings was that in this setting platelets are not a suitable model.

Aspirin at therapeutic concentrations does not affect 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake by platelets.
Aspirin at therapeutic concentrations does not inhibit the uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) by blood platelets nor induce release of 5-HT from platelets, although platelet aggregation responses to collagen and arachidonic acid (which are dependent on platelet prostaglandin synthesis) are abolished. This does not support an earlier claim that aspirin's effects on platelet function include in...
متن کاملPlatelet Ihydroxytryptamine is decreased in a preliminary group of depressed patients receiving the Ihydroxytryptamine re-uptake inhi biting drug fluoxetine
1. In view of the importance of 5-hydroxytryptamine in coronary thrombosis, we wanted to know whether a potentially protective decrease in platelet 5hydroxytryptamine could be achieved by treatment with an inhibitor of 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake, fluoxetine. 2. We studied 15 patients treated for psychiatric indications with fluoxetine, and compared the findings with those obtained with blood fr...
متن کاملStudies of platelet 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) in storage pool disease and albinism.
Platelets in patients with storage pool disease are markedly deficient in a nonmetabolic (storage) pool of ADP that is important in platelet aggregation. They are also deficient in ATP, although to a lesser degree. In seven patients with this disorder, including one with albinism, platelet 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels were reduced in proportion to the reduction in ATP (r = 0.94). Their pla...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of cis- and trans-resveratrol on noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake and on monoamine oxidase activity.
This study investigated for the first time the potential effects of cis- and trans-resveratrol (c-RESV and t-RESV) on noradrenaline (NA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) uptake by synaptosomes from rat brain, on 5-HT uptake by human platelets, and on monoamine oxidase (MAO) isoform activity. Both c-RESV and t-RESV (5-200 microM) concentration-dependently inhibited the uptake of [3H]NA and [3H]5-H...
متن کاملPlatelet - induced Neurogenic Coronary Contractions Due to Accumulation of the False Neurotransmitter , 5 - Hydroxytryptamine Richard
The purpose of this study was to determine if 5-hydroxytryptamine released from aggregating platelets could be accumulated and released by canine coronary adrenergic nerves, and if the false neurotransmitter resulted in an abnormal response of the smooth muscle to nerve stimulation. Isometric tension was measured in rings of epicardial coronary arteries suspended in organ chambers filled with p...
