Low lumbar CSF levels of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in multiple system atrophy with autonomic failure.

Low lumbar CSF concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in patients with multiple system atrophy attended by autonomic failure (MSA) reflect decreased activity in central dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways. These neurochemical changes are consistent with the neuropathological involvement in MSA and distinguish such patients from those with pure auton...

Amine metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with disseminated sclerosis.

Mean homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentrations were significantly low in the lumbar CSF of a group of patients with disseminated sclerosis (DS) who were severely disabled but not in the CSF of a less severely restricted group with DS. CSF concentrations were also low in a group of patients with superior cerebellar peduncular tremor due to DS and in a single patient with a ...

Use of cerebrospinal fluid drawn at pneumoencephalography in the study of monoamine metabolism in man.

Concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were significantly higher in CSF obtained after injection of air during pneumoencephalography (PEG) than in lumbar CSF, as drawn before the injection. There was a high correlation between levels in the `mixed' and lumbar samples of CSF in the case of each of the two acids. The concentration of lumbar HVA, but not ...

Spinal reflexes and the concentrations of 5-HIAA, MHPG, and HVA in lumbar cereborspinal fluid after spinal lesions in man.

Descending bulbospinal pathways that employ specific neurotransmitter substances are known to be capable of modulating segmental reflex activity in the experimental animal. To determine whether this might also occur in man correlations have been sought between the activity in spinal reflex pathways and the lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA), 3 ...

Monoamine metabolite concentrations in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid of patients with histologically verified Alzheimer's dementia.

Concentrations of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), 5-hydroxy indoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were determined in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from control subjects and patients of both presenile and senile age with histologically verified Alzheimer's dementia. CSF HVA increased with age in control but not in Alzheimer patients. HVA and 5-HIAA in the CSF of prese...
