[Excretion of dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, vanilmandelic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in the urine of volunteers treated with adepren].

The authors examined the excretion of dopamine, noradrenaline, drenaline, vanylalmond acid and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid in urine of healthy volunteers, treated with the original Bulgarian preparation Adepren for a period of ten days. There was an increase of the excretion of dopamine and adrenaline, but a tendency to a reduction of noradrenaline and vanylalmond acid. There were no changes in the excretion of 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid. The authors interpreted the obtained results most probably of MAO-inhibiting effect of the preparation.
