“We switched to a 21-day minipumps paradigm using a dose that mimics serum antidepressant concentrations in humans because this regimen resulted in a more consistent and robust decrease in serotonin transporter levels in rats than what is observed with daily injections of serotonin reuptake inhibitors.” Weinshenker et al. 2002 Brain Research 946:239-246.
