Abstract
Specific binding of 3H-clonidine to platelet membranes were measured in depressed elderly patients and in an elderly control group. Maximum specific binding was significantly higher in depressed patients than in the control group, whereas the binding affinity was not significantly different.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
