[3H]Imipramine binding and [3H]5HT uptake in human blood platelets: changes after one week chlorimipramine treatment. 1984

In platelets of normal volunteers taking chlorimipramine (50 mg/day) for one week, the saturable uptake of [3H]5HT was fully inhibited at day 8, but returned to control values at day 15. The Bmax of [3H]imipramine binding was decreased by 65% at day 8 and remained significantly below control values at day 15. If the present findings can be extrapolated to other antidepressants, the reported decreases in [3H]imipramine binding in depression may partly reflect residual treatment effects. It cannot be excluded that, in depression, the platelet [3H]imipramine receptor already is down-regulated maximally which would preclude a further down-regulation due to antidepressant drug therapy.
