| Abstract: | Urinary excretion of 3 methoxy-4-hydroxy phenyl glycol (MHPG) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy mandelic acid (VMA) were estimated in 18 Post-Japanese Encephalitis depressive patients and 20 unipolar depressive patients to determine their biochemical differences. Both the metabolites were low in the former group in comparison to the later group, indicating that the metabolic events in respect to catecholamine turn over are different in two disorders. |
