    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between platelet [3H]-imipramine binding and Beck Depression Inventory scores in the premenstrual syndrome (PMS). STUDY DESIGN: Thirty-one patients with PMS and 26 healthy female volunteers participated in the study. Imipramine binding was measured by saturation binding of [3H]-imipramine. The Beck Depression Inventory form was completed. RESULTS: The number of [3H]-imipramine binding sites (Bmax) was significantly lower in the study group (p = 0.003). Beck Depression Scores were significantly higher in the study group as compared with the control group (p = 0.001). No correlation was found between platelet [3H]-imipramine binding and Beck Depression Inventory scores (r = 0.100, p = 0.591). CONCLUSION: A significantly lower number of Bmax wasfound in patients with PMS as compared to controls, but no correlation between platelet [3H]-imipramine binding and Beck Depression Inventory scores was found.
