Bmax = maximum number of binding sites; KD = dissociation constant; Ki = (half-maximal inhibitory concentration)/(1 + [radioligand]/KD).
Data are mean ± SD. Concentration-dependent displacement by nonradioactive prazosin was analyzed as homologous saturation curve to estimate Bmax and KD. Concentration-dependent displacement by nonradioactive CUMI was analyzed to provide Ki values, which correct for concentration of 3H-prazosin.
