title: [The contents of plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine in patients with five types of Gan syndromes in TCM and its significance for diagnosis].
abstract: Plasma norepinephrine (NE) epinephrine (E) concentrations in patients with five types of Gan syndromes and relative syndromes were determined. The healthy individuals served as control. The contents of NE and E in Ganyang Huafeng Zheng (5975.8 +/- 305.6 pmol.L-1, 2227.7 +/- 12.57 pmol.L-1) were significantly increased; Ganxue Xu Zheng (1100.4 +/- 105.5, 451.2 +/- 70.9 pmol.L-1) were decreased, and lower than the normal controls. NE and E contents in both Ganyang Shangkang Zheng (3962.6 +/- 354.4, 1225.6 +/- 163.5 pmol.L-1) and Ganhuo Shangyan Zheng (3398.1 +/- 303.8, 1134.4 +/- 146.9 pmol.L-1) were increased remarkably, but there was no difference between them. Plasma NE, E concentrations can be considered as one of the comprehensive laboratory parameters in diagnosis of the four above mentioned Gan syndromes.
