title: [Relation of serum levels of serotonin and histamine and the presence of depressive syndrome in patients with duodenal ulcer].
abstract: The relation of the blood serum level of biogenic amines (serotonine and histamine) to the presence of the depressive syndrome (neurotic depression) was studied by MMPI method in duodenal ulcer patients aged 15-30. This syndrome is a frequent finding in ulcer patients. The blood level of serotonine and histamine was more significantly increased in duodenal ulcer patients than that in the control group. There was a significant increase in the blood level of serotonine in duodenal ulcer patients with the depressive syndrome but no significant difference in the level of histamine. The high blood level of serotonine is supposedly associated with the development of the depressive syndrome in duodenal ulcer patients.
