Imidazoline receptors in the human umbilical cord.
Imidazoline binding sites (IBS) are now accepted as being receptors, however, their physiological functions are not yet clearly understood. Previously, the authors demonstrated that the density of IBS in the human placenta significantly increased throughout gestation. The present study was performed for the identification of imidazoline receptors in the human umbilical cord.
