Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), the enzyme that converts dopamine to norepinephrine, was measured in the CSF of 32 subjects. Those individuals with a low level of DBH in the CSF had significantly elevated profiles on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, suggesting a relationship between the central noradrenergic system and some aspects of personality in man.
多巴胺β-羟化酶(DBH)是一种将多巴胺转化为去甲肾上腺素的酶,在32名受试者的脑脊液中进行了测量。脑脊液中DBH水平较低的个体在明尼苏达多相人格问卷上的得分显著升高,这表明中枢去甲肾上腺素能系统与人类人格的某些方面之间存在关联。
