title: Chronic postnatal phencyclidine treatment on [3H](+) pentazocine binding in juvenile rat brain.
abstract: Chronic phencyclidine (PCP) administrations in postnatal rats produce long-term behavioral changes. Here we report the effects of repeated postnatal PCP treatment on [3H](+)pentazocine binding in juvenile rats. Saturation analyses of the binding data showed no significant difference in any of the binding characteristics between chronic PCP-related rats and saline-treated controls suggesting that mechanisms other than alterations in sigma1 binding underlie the behavioral effects of repeated postnatal PCP administration in immature rats.
