Effects of long-term administration of antidepressants and neuroleptics on receptors in the central nervous system

G B Baker et al. Cell Mol Neurobiol. 1989 Mar.

Abstract

1. A review of the effects of long-term administration of antidepressants and neuroleptics on receptors in the central nervous system is presented. 2. The effects of antidepressants on adenylate cyclase activity and on receptor binding in brain tissue are discussed. Effects on a variety of receptor types are considered. 3. The utilization of electrophysiological, behavioral, and neurochemical studies to assess receptor function after chronic antidepressant administration is discussed, as is the use of peripheral receptor estimations in clinical studies. 4. Animal studies on the actions of chronic administration of neuroleptics on pre- and postsynaptic dopamine receptors are reviewed. Effects of these drugs on dopamine receptors in humans are considered from the following perspectives: postmortem and in vivo binding studies in schizophrenia, tardive dyskinesia, and central versus peripheral receptor estimation.
