  • Title: Monoamine metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid during acute cerebral ischemia.
    Author: Tang HZ, Lu XF, Wang KJ, Ou YS, Huang YQ.
    Journal: Chin Med J (Engl); 1989 Jan; 102(1):18-23. PubMed ID: 2475306.
    Abstract:
    To clarify the rule of monoamine in cerebral ischemia, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 33 patients and 18 controls were measured with high performance liquid chromatography. Results showed all the three metabolites increased in patients with severe ischemia but only MHPG and 5-HIAA increased significantly. MHPG changed more quickly and regularly in cerebral ischemia than the other two. A positive correlation between any couple of the metabolites was found in both the controls and patients in the first week after stroke, but it was disturbed at the end of the second week. Computer-assisted multivariate analysis indicated that 5-HIAA and MHPG are more closely related to the state of illness in the acute stage while HVA the least. Possible explanations for the changes of CSF levels of amine metabolites were discussed.
