- Abstract
- This study was done in order to show the effects of carbon rnonoxide (CO) induced hypoxia on the steps of metabolism of rnonoamine neurotransmitters. There were 9 patients exposed to CO and 5 patients of control group. We evaluated their cerebrospinal fluid within 24 hours after CO exposure. And we measured the amounts of 5-hydroxy-indole acetic acid (5-HIAA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In the CO exposure group, the levels of 5-HIAA and HVA were reduced compared with the control group. It was thought that the changes in the levels of 5-HIAA and HVA were due to the transient decrease in monoamine oxidase activity in acute hypoxia.
