CSF metabolites of dopamine (HVA), norepinephrine (MHPG) and serotonine (5HIAA) in 9 patients affected by Huntington's Chorea before and after therapy with phenotiazine derivatives (Fluphenazine) have been studied. A close relationship seems to exist between therapeutical results and CSF HVA modifications: improvement of choreatic movements is associated with marked increase in CSF HVA values. Biochemical bases of Huntington's Chorea are discussed.
对9例患亨廷顿舞蹈症的患者在使用吩噻嗪衍生物(氟奋乃静)治疗前后脑脊液中多巴胺代谢物(高香草酸)、去甲肾上腺素(3-甲氧基-4-羟基苯乙二醇)和5-羟色胺(5-羟吲哚乙酸)进行了研究。治疗结果与脑脊液中高香草酸的变化之间似乎存在密切关系:舞蹈样动作的改善与脑脊液中高香草酸值的显著增加有关。本文讨论了亨廷顿舞蹈症的生化基础。
