Blood platelet uptake of 3H-serotonin (5HT uptake) was determined in a group of inpatient alcoholics who had just undergone detoxication (N = 19) and an age-matched group of nonalcoholic controls (N = 19). Mean 5HT uptake was 18% lower in the alcoholics (p less than .01). A 3-min 5HT uptake of less than 6 pmoles/10(7) platelets identified 58% of the alcoholics, but only 15% of the controls had a 5HT uptake lower than this value. These results support the hypothesis that serotonergic dysfunction may exist in alcoholics.
在一组刚完成脱毒治疗的住院酗酒者(N = 19)和一组年龄匹配的非酗酒对照组(N = 19)中,测定了血小板对³H - 5 - 羟色胺(5HT摄取)的摄取情况。酗酒者的平均5HT摄取量低18%(p < 0.01)。3分钟内5HT摄取量低于6皮摩尔/10⁷个血小板可识别出58%的酗酒者,但只有15%的对照组5HT摄取量低于此值。这些结果支持酗酒者可能存在血清素能功能障碍这一假说。
