Anxiety may be associated with increased norepinephrine activity. Urinary levels of the norepinephrine metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) were examined in depressed patients with and without panic attacks. Depressed patients with panic attacks had significant elevations of MHPG.
焦虑可能与去甲肾上腺素活性增加有关。对伴有和不伴有惊恐发作的抑郁症患者的去甲肾上腺素代谢产物3-甲氧基-4-羟基苯乙二醇(MHPG)的尿水平进行了检测。伴有惊恐发作的抑郁症患者的MHPG水平显著升高。
