The content and uptake of 5-HT by blood platelets in depressive patients.
The obtained results and data of literature indicate the increase (absolute or relative) of the rate of 5-HT uptake by platelets in depressives. These data suggest that the acceleration of 5-HT reuptake in neurones may be one of the reasons of insufficiency of 5-HT-ergic processes in depression of 5-HT type (Asberg, 1976).
