Lacrimal fluid from 17 healthy volunteers was analysed for catecholamines using a radioenzymatic assay. Significant concentrations of norepinephrine (mean = 4.4 nmol l-1) and epinephrine (mean = 3.7 nmol l-1) were detected in some of the subjects. Dopamine was not detected in the tears of any of the subjects. The possible significance of catecholamines in tears in relation to corneal physiology and intraocular pressure is discussed.
采用放射酶分析法对17名健康志愿者的泪液进行了儿茶酚胺分析。在部分受试者中检测到了显著浓度的去甲肾上腺素（平均 = 4.4纳摩尔/升）和肾上腺素（平均 = 3.7纳摩尔/升）。在所有受试者的眼泪中均未检测到多巴胺。本文讨论了泪液中儿茶酚胺与角膜生理和眼压相关的可能意义。
