The density of platelet c~z-adrenoceptors, quantified by means of the binding of [3H]clonidine, and the aggregation response induced by adrenaline, was investigated in ten heroin addicts. The number of binding sites for [3H]clonidine was significantly increased during heroin abuse. Concomitantly, th

Previous studies have reported that antidepressant drugs exert specific effects on responding maintained by DRL schedules of reinforcement, giving rise to increased frequencies of reinforcement. In order to investigate whether the ~z-adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan would produce similar effects, th
Rats received haloperidol (1.3-1.5 mg/kg/day) via their drinking water for 21 weeks. At the end of this period the density of D2 dopamine receptors and their affinity for [3H]-spiperone were measured in the striatum and medial prefrontal cortex. The chronic haloperidol treatment increased the densit
