Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic Parkinsonism secondary to intravenous injection of meperidine analogues.

TL;DR: Biogenic amines and metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid and microscopic evaluation of the brain at necropsy were consistent with damage to aminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catecholamine Metabolism: A Contemporary View with Implications for Physiology and Medicine

TL;DR: The large contribution of intraneuronal deamination to catecholamine turnover, and dependence of this on the vesicular-axoplasmic monoamine exchange process, helps explain how synthesis, release, metabolism, turnovers, and stores of catechlamines are regulated in a coordinated fashion during stress and in disease states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of plasma norepinephrine for evaluation of sympathetic neuronal function in man.

TL;DR: Levels of norepinephrine in human plasma have been determined by a radioenzymatic technique sufficiently sensitive to measure 0.014 ng NE per ml plasma by evaluating sympathetic neuronal function based on the increments in plasma NE produced by postural change and a standard amount of exertion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validity and reliability of liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection for measuring plasma levels of norepinephrine and epinephrine in man.

TL;DR: Liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (LCEC) provides a rapid, sensitive, and specific technique for measuring human plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine levels against that of the catechol-O-methyl-transferase radioenzymatic (COMT-RE) assay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous liquid-chromatographic determination of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol, catecholamines, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine in plasma, and their responses to inhibition of monoamine oxidase.

TL;DR: The reversed-phase liquid-chromatographic method is rapid, reliable, and simple, and it provides a more comprehensive assessment of noradrenergic nervous function than does measurement only of catecholamines.
