Concentration of dopamine and serotonin metabolites (HVA and 5-HIAA) in the CSF was evaluated before and after pharmacological treatment in 19 patients with different neuropsychiatric diseases. In every case a reciprocal modification of the two metabolites occurred after treatment. The result supports the hypothesis of a functional balance between the monoaminergic systems in the central nervous system.
对19例患有不同神经精神疾病的患者,在药物治疗前后评估了脑脊液中多巴胺和5-羟色胺代谢产物(高香草酸和5-羟吲哚乙酸)的浓度。在每种情况下,治疗后两种代谢产物都出现了相反的变化。该结果支持了中枢神经系统单胺能系统之间存在功能平衡的假说。
