Added sugars drive nutrient and energy deficit in obesity: a new paradigm

The binding of [3H]mianserin to rat choroid plexus was characterized and compared with two other radioligands that label the 5-HT (serotonin)-1c receptor ([3H]mesulergine and [125I] lysergic acid diethylamide). [3H]Mianserin binding to a crude membrane preparation of choroid plexus from rat brain was rapid, saturable and of high affinity (Kd = 1 nM). The density of sites labeled by [3H]mianserin and [3H]mesulergine was equal. Furthermore, an...
