One SLE to measure them all: Two-part elution for analysis of urinary HIAA, HVA and VMA
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND: The monoamine acids 5’-hydroxyindoleacetic (HIAA), homovanillic (HVA), and vanillylmandelic (VMA) are metabolites of serotonin and the catecholamine neurotransmitters epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Laboratory measurement of these acids in urine is used to assess overproduction of the parent amines due to carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors (neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma).

Changes in Urinary Monoamine Metabolites with Antipsychotic Treatment in Schizophrenia
Objective: Monoamine neurotransmitters have been considered important mediators of schizophrenia pathology and antipsychotic drug action. This study examines the level of monoamine metabolites, homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxy indole acetic acid (5-HIAA), and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), monoamine metabolites of major neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, respectively in u...
متن کاملReserpine methonitrate, a novel quaternary analogue of reserpine augments urinary excretion of VMA and 5-HIAA without affecting HVA in rats
BACKGROUND Reserpine, an alkaloid from Rauwolfia serpentina was widely used for its antihypertensive action in the past. In later years, its use has been reduced because of precipitation of depression and extra pyramidal symptoms due to its central action. In the present investigation, reserpine methonitrate (RMN), a novel quaternary analogue of reserpine was synthesised and evaluated biochemic...
متن کاملConcentration gradients of monoamine metabolites in human cerebrospinal fluid.
The monamine metabolites 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), homovanillic acid (HVA), vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylglycol (HMPG) were analysed in CSF from different regions of the CSF system to study the caudocranial concentration gradient of the metabolites. Four consecutive 10 ml fractions of CSF were withdrawn in 17 patients during the course of four minutes. Th...

The catecholamine metabolites 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyman delic acid (VMA) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (HVA) were assayed in initialurine specimensof 288 patients with neuroblastoma and related tumors of neural crest origin (NCT). The interrelationships between the excretion of these metabolites, age at diagnosis, stage of the disease, site of the primary tumor, and prognosis were exami...
متن کاملLiquid-chromatographic assay of urinary vanillylmandelic acid and homovanillic acid, with clean-up by on-column injection of acetonitrile or methanol.
To separately measure vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in urine, the sample is diluted 10-fold with 50 mmol/L phosphoric acid, then exactly 5 microL is injected directly onto a 50 X 4.6 mm column of Nucleosil 3C18. Samples can be injected at 5-min intervals because all peaks after these compounds of interest are washed away. VMA is eluted from the column after 2.8 min wit...
