Reduced 3H-imipramine binding but unaltered 3H-serotonin uptake in platelets of adolescent enuretics. 1986

R Weizman, and M Carmi, and S Tyano, and M Rehavi

High affinity 3H-imipramine binding and 3H-serotonin uptake to platelets was evaluated in nine untreated adolescent enuretics (ages 13-18) and nine age- and sex-matched controls. A significant decrease in the maximal binding of 3H-imipramine (Bmax) was observed in the enuretics as compared to the controls. No alteration in the affinity of 3H-imipramine to its binding sites (Kd) or in serotonin uptake kinetic parameters (Vmax, Km) was detected. The lack of correlation between Bmax and Vmax values might indicate that the binding sites for imipramine and the sites for serotonin uptake are not identical.

D004775 Enuresis Involuntary discharge of URINE after expected age of completed development of urinary control. This can happen during the daytime (DIURNAL ENURESIS) while one is awake or during sleep (NOCTURNAL ENURESIS). Enuresis can be in children or in adults (as persistent primary enuresis and secondary adult-onset enuresis).

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
