Abstract
Platelet 3H-imipramine binding was examined in a cross-sectional study of 70 Caucasian women in pregnancy and the early post-partum period, and in 23 nonpregnant women of childbearing age. Mood was also assessed in the pregnancy and post-partum sample. No significant differences in number of binding sites (Bmax) were found, but an increase in the equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) was demonstrated at 5-7 days post-partum.
