downregulation??

Posted by turalizz on July 23, 2002, at 10:18:30

Is it a fact that increasing intercellular concentrations of a neurotransmitter results in downregulation of its receptors, or is it just a speculation on how the AD's loose their effectiveness in time?
Can someone refer me to studies about AD (especially MAOI'S) induced downregulation, how to reverse it etc.?
...and a second question: What does "receptor sensitivity" mean?

thanks,
cem
