| Of the 16 pairs of left and right sides of striata (from schizophrenics) measured for dopamine D2-like receptors with [3H]nemonapride, 13 pairs (or 81%) had more receptors on the right side, compatible with leftward turning in schizophrenic patients (top). "Excess binding" was the difference between the receptor densities on the left and the right. "Total binding" refers to total specific binding. Compared with control values, the density of dopamine receptors in schizophrenia was elevated by 8.2 pmol/g for [3H]nemonapride (right). |
