Lack of association between [3H]imipramine binding sites and uptake of serotonin in control, depressed and schizophrenic patients
TL;DR: A clear dissociation between uptake of serotonin and [3H]imipramine binding sites in human platelets is demonstrated in the platelets of control, depressed and schizophrenic patients.

Imipramine treatment differentially affects platelet 3H-imipramine binding and serotonin uptake in depressed patients.
TL;DR: Data indicate that successful antidepressant treatment may increase the density of 3H-imipramine binding sites on platelets by a process which is independent of the uptake of serotonin.

TL;DR: Analysis of platelet 3H-imipramine binding and serotonin uptake in normal subjects and in depressed, parkinsonian and Alzheimer's disease patients suggests that it may be a useful laboratory index which discriminates depression from dementia in the elderly.
