Abstract
Specific .alpha. and .beta. receptor binding is significantly reduced in the brains of adult rats that were undernourished perinatally. Kinetic studies indicate that this effect is the result of a diminished number of binding sites, not changes in receptor affinity.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
