The authors assayed plasma dopamine beta-hydroxylase activity, platelet
monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity, plasma prolactin, the urinary monoamine
metabolites 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), 5- hydroxyindoleacetic
acid (5-HIAA), and homovanillic acid (HVA), and urinary cAMP from 18
delusional and 22 nondelusional depressed inpatients. No significant
differences between the two groups were found.
