N2  - Dysfunction in alpha-adrenergic receptor systems has been implicated to be of etiologic significance in depressive illness. The alpha 2-adrenergic ligand 3H.clonidine labels at least two sets of binding sites in normal human prefrontal cortex. We now report that the lower affinity component of 3H.clonidine binding is apparently absent in the prefrontal cortices of presumptive suicide victims.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
