title: [Catecholamine metabolism in men with neuroses].
abstract: Impairments in sympathoadrenal system were detected in men with sexual disorders (dissimilar in explosive and asthenic persons) by means of a combined methodology monitoring the activity and response of sympathoadrenal system, synthesis of neurotransmitters determined by a circadian rhythm. In the patients urinary excretion of catecholamines and DOPA was impaired at night and in the morning hours. As compared with healthy persons of the same age a decrease in the rate of synthesis of sympathoadrenal neurotransmitters was found in explosive patients (contrary to asthenic persons) after loading with 0.1 g of 1-DOPA (DOPA-test). Combined study of sympathoadrenal system is an important approach for diagnostics and treatment of men with sexual disorders.
