Serotonin transporter (SERT) was studied by [3H]-paroxetine binding in blood platelets from controls and epileptic patients with generalized convulsive seizures. The average KD and BMax were not different in the two cases. However, a significant decrease was found in the serotonin transporter density in the platelet membranes from patients having undergone an epileptic seizure less than 4 days before. This circumstance may indicate a homeostatic reaction to the epileptic attack.
通过[3H] - 帕罗西汀结合法,对对照组和患有全身性惊厥性癫痫的癫痫患者血小板中的5 - 羟色胺转运体(SERT)进行了研究。在这两种情况下,平均解离常数(KD)和最大结合容量(BMax)并无差异。然而,在癫痫发作不到4天的患者血小板膜中,发现5 - 羟色胺转运体密度显著降低。这种情况可能表明对癫痫发作的一种稳态反应。
