Abstract
Unlike tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors, mianserin did not increase prolactin response to the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) precursory tryptophan in nine patients with major depression. Antidepessant drugs apparently produce dissimilar effecs on this aspect of brain 5-HT function in depressed patients.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
