Data are mean ± S.E.M. values (N = 7 rats/group) for binding [fmol/mg of tissue and (percentage of control)], determined by quantitative autoradiography following continuous subcutaneous infusion of vehicle or antipsychotic drugs for 4 weeks, all as described under Experimental Procedures. No statistically significant drug effect was found.

  • 1-a  Data (percentage of control) for clozapine (40 mg/kg/day) and fluphenazine (1 mg/kg/day) were determined previously (Tarazi et al., 1998) and are shown for comparison.
