Popis: Chronic, but not acute, treatment of rats with 10mg/kg/day Trazodone, Doxepin and Mianserine decreased the specific binding of [3H] dihydroalprenolol, a potent β-adrenergic antagonist, to cortical membrane preparations, to respectively 21, 65 and 82% of the control value. Of the three antidepressant drugs, only Doxepin and Mionserine have been reported to significantly inhibit the high affinity uptake of noradrenaline, suggesting that mechanisms other than uptake blockade may contribute to the antidepressant effects of these drugs.
