Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Atypical antipsychotics (AP) have high affinity for many neurotransmitter receptors. Among these receptors, APs are antagonist at α-adrenergic and β-adrenergic receptors, and this pharmacological property has been postulated to be involved in the mechanism of action of these drugs with respect to both clinical response and adverse effects. OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypotheses that AP-induced weight...
