“…It is therefore obvious that the normal values obtained with the different methods must vary appreciably. This is evident from the fact that the mean value for men is considered to lie between 9.0 and 22.6 mg/24 hours (3,4,26,28,45,46,49,51,53,55,68,74,76,82,89,90,93,108,109,110,114,119,123,131). Corresponding figures for the mean value in women according to available literature are between 4.2 and 13.2 mg/24 hours (3, 4, 26, 45, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57,67,74,76,82,89,93,108,110,114,123,125).…”
