Abstract
Platelet aggregation experiments confirm differences between the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors of migrainous and control platelets. However, no differences have been found in 5-HT uptake, in the presence of reserpine or chlorpromazine, into migrainous and control platelets. The results support the hypothesis that receptors for 5-HT induced platelet aggregation provide a model for vascular receptors causing constriction and are distinct from those transferring 5-HT through the platelet membrane.
