title: [HPLC detection of pathologic metabolites of melanin and melatonin metabolism in the urine in malignant melanoma of the choroid].
abstract: In 19 patients with malignant melanoma of the choroid and 11 controls 20 different metabolic parameters of melanin and melatonin metabolism in urine were examined by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Significant differences were found in DOPA, DOPAC, MHPG, alpha-keto-glutaric acid, pseudo-uridine, serotonin, OH-tryptophan and homovanillic acid.
