Platelet monoamine oxidase activity and plasma trace acid levels in 29 patients classified as agoraphobics was estimated. MAO activity towards p-tyramine and beta-phenylethylamine was found to be significantly higher in agoraphobics than in non-agoraphobic depressed patients and healthy controls. In addition plasma p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid levels were low in both agoraphobic and depressed patient groups. All patients were also assessed by Spielberger State Anxiety and the short form of the Beck Depression Inventory scales. No significant correlations could be found between platelet MAO activity or plasma trace acid levels and the psychological scores.
对29名被归类为广场恐惧症患者的血小板单胺氧化酶活性和血浆微量酸水平进行了评估。发现广场恐惧症患者对对酪胺和β-苯乙胺的单胺氧化酶活性显著高于非广场恐惧症的抑郁症患者和健康对照者。此外，广场恐惧症患者组和抑郁症患者组的血浆对羟基苯乙酸水平均较低。所有患者还通过斯皮尔伯格状态焦虑量表和贝克抑郁量表简表进行了评估。未发现血小板单胺氧化酶活性或血浆微量酸水平与心理评分之间存在显著相关性。
