Abstract

The 3H-imipramine binding parameters (Bmax and Kd) were studied in platelets from female suicide attempters and from healthy volunteers. The Bmax was significantly lower among suicide attempters, with no modification of the Kd. These results provide support of the hypothesis that decreased serotonin function may play a role in suicidal behavior.
