TY - JOUR PY - 1989// TI - Further evidence supporting the role of the serotonin system in suicidal behavior: a preliminary study of suicide attempters JO - Acta psychiatrica Scandinavica A1 - Marazziti, Donatella A1 - De Leo, Diego A1 - Conti, Linda SP - 322 EP - 324 VL - 80 IS - 4 N2 - 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.
