A PET study of brain 5-HT2 receptors and their correlation with platelet 5-HT2 receptors in healthy humans
Abstract
Abstract. Rationale: Platelets share many properties with brain serotonergic neurons such as active 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) transport, 5-HT2 receptors, and mitochondrial monoamine oxidase. Objectives: We measured brain 5-HT2 receptors and platelet 5-HT2 receptors in healthy volunteers to determine if there was any correlation between the two measures. Methods: Ten healthy volunteers with no lifetime history of psychiatric illness or family …
