Summary
The effects of chronic in vivo lithium administration on mannose-containing components of plasma membranes from rat corpus striatum were examined by a3H-concanavalin A binding displacement method. No difference in Con A binding was observed between sodium or lithium-treated rats during a 1-month period.
