title: Chronic administration of antidepressant drugs increases the density of cortical [3H]prazosin binding sites in the rat.
abstract: Administration of antidepressants (imipramine, citalopram) or antidepressant neuroleptics (levomepromazine, chlorprothixene) for 14-24 days enhanced by 20-30% the density of [3H]prazosin binding sites in the membranes from the cerebral cortex of the rat, without significant change in their affinity.
