In 57 patients with psicovegetative disorders and abnormal MMPI, abnormality in MMPI scales indicating hypochondriasis, hysteria, gender deviant, paranoia, psychastenia, schizophrenia, hypomania or introversion was accompanied by increased plasma catecholamine levels and/or responses to hypoglycemia or by an increased cardiovascular reactivity. A high depression scale was associated with lower plasma catecholamine levels. Blunted plasma growth hormone responses to hypoglycemia were found in abnormal hypomania scale, and augmented responses of plasma cortisol in abnormal hysteria or schizophrenia scales. Paranoia and hypomania traits correlated with absence of morning-evening differences in blood cortisol levels. Electrodermal responses compatible with increased sympathetic activity correlated with high hysteria, gender, paranoia, schizophrenia or hypomania MMPI scales. This study indicates that most psychopathological traits in MMPI are accompanied by humoral and/or electrophysiological signs of abnormality of the autonomic nervous system.
在57例患有精神植物神经功能紊乱且明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）异常的患者中，MMPI量表中显示疑病症、癔症、性偏离、偏执狂、精神衰弱、精神分裂症、轻躁狂或内向性的异常，伴有血浆儿茶酚胺水平升高和/或对低血糖的反应，或心血管反应性增加。高抑郁量表与较低的血浆儿茶酚胺水平相关。在异常轻躁狂量表中发现血浆生长激素对低血糖的反应迟钝，在异常癔症或精神分裂症量表中血浆皮质醇反应增强。偏执狂和轻躁狂特质与血皮质醇水平早晚无差异相关。与交感神经活动增加相符的皮肤电反应与高癔症、性、偏执狂、精神分裂症或轻躁狂MMPI量表相关。这项研究表明，MMPI中的大多数精神病理特质都伴有自主神经系统异常的体液和/或电生理迹象。
