Plasma MHPG in Rapid Cyclers and Healthy Twins

Plasma MHPG and AMDP depression relations, evolution and drug effect in a follow‐up study of depressed patients

“…Unipolar depressed mean values were also not different from normal values, but were characterized by a wide range of NA output. Normal, high and low levels were encountered in this group, as reported by previous workers (Wyatt et al, 1971;Goodwin and Potter, 1979;Jimerson et al, 1981).…”

Plasma 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylethyleneglycol and 3-Methoxy-4-Hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol as Indicators of Central Noradrenergic Activity

“…In interpreting these results, one should note that our control subjects probably were not a good sam ple of the different classes of age. This could explain why we did not find the correlation between plasma MOPEG and age found by Jimerson et al [1981b] and Halbreich et al [1987] in normal subjects. In depressive patients this correlation is not universally agreed [Sweeney et al, 1980;Siever et al, 1986].…”

Nimodipine Treatment of an Adolescent with Ultradian Cycling Bipolar Affective Illness

“…The mechanisms of action of nimodipine as a mood stabilizer remains unclear. A simplified emerging model posits increased intracellular calcium in mania (Jimerson et al 1979; Dubovsky et al 1994) and decreased levels in depression (Jimerson et al 1981). Studies of peripheral calcium changes in bipolar disease have been inconclusive (Jimerson et al 1979).…”
