Serotonin Transporter Residual Availability During Long-Term Antidepressant Therapy Does Not Differentiate Responder and Nonresponder Unipolar Patients

Abstract

Background Serotonin transporters (SERT) are a major target for antidepressant medication, although there have been limited in vivo studies of SERT availability in patients being treated with antidepressants. It is not known whether SERT availability differs in treatment-responsive and -nonresponsive patients receiving long-term treatment. In this study, we used single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to compare SERT residual availability in unipolar responders and nonresponders during long-term antidepressant treatment. Dopamine transporter (DAT) availability was also assessed in the same patients to examine the relationship between the two transporter systems. Methods Twenty-four medicated unipolar patients were recruited, of whom 11 were responders and 13 were nonresponders. All patients underwent SPECT with [123I] beta-carbomethoxy-3-beta-(4 iodophenyl)tropane. Brain SERT was measured in the brain stem and diencephalon, and DAT was measured in the striatum. Residual availability was calculated as a ratio of specific to nonspecific uptake, with the occipital region used as the nonspecific reference region. Results There was no difference between responders and nonresponders in SERT availability. Dopamine transporter availability was similar in responders and nonresponders, and there was no association between SERT and DAT availability. Conclusions Serotonin transporter availability does not discriminate responders and nonresponders during long-term treatment with antidepressants.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
