homovanillic acid has been researched along with Mood Disorders in 13 studies

Homovanillic Acid: A 3-O-methyl ETHER of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid.
homovanillate : A hydroxy monocarboxylic acid anion which is obtained by deprotonation of the carboxy group of homovanillic acid.
homovanillic acid : A monocarboxylic acid that is the 3-O-methyl ether of (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid. It is a catecholamine metabolite.

Mood Disorders: Those disorders that have a disturbance in mood as their predominant feature.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of the monoamine metabolites 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), homovanillic acid (HVA), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol, and their ratios were studied in relation to the Diagnostic Interview for Borderline patients (DIB) evaluated retrospectively from hospital records for a sample of 202 patients participating in psychobiological programs on mood disorders."5.08CSF monoamine metabolites in relation to the diagnostic interview for borderline patients (DIB). ( Asberg, M; Chotai, J; Kullgren, G, 1998)
"The homovanillic acid (HVA) level was significantly higher in the dark phase than in the light phase in the mPFC and striatum."1.31Diurnal rhythm in extracellular levels of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in the medial prefrontal cortex of freely moving rats: an in vivo microdialysis study. ( Nakayama, K, 2002)
