title: Comparison of panic disordered patients with high versus low MHPG.
abstract: Fourteen panic disorder patients with low 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) were compared to 14 patients with high MHPG. Patients with low MHPG were more likely during the preceding month to have experienced spontaneous panic attacks (P less than 0.008) than were patients with high MHPG. Patients with high MHPG had increased severity ratings on several individual symptoms of anxiety.
