Abstract
Whole-blood 5-HT was examined in thirty-five depressive patients not on antidepressants, and in comparable control subjects. The concentration of whole-blood 5-HT was significantly lower during depression, but returned to normal after clinical recovery.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
