Abstract

Patients Excretion Tourette Syndrome
Urinary excretion of the norepinephrine metabolites 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol (MHPG) and normetanephrine (NME) was measured in Tourette’s Syndrome (TS) patients and in control subjects matched for age and education. The 24-h excretion (expressed per gram of creatinine) of total MHPG and of free and total (free + conjugated) NME was significantly lower in TS patients than in the normal subjects.
