vanilmandelic acid and Depressive Disorder

vanilmandelic acid has been researched along with Depressive Disorder in 35 studies

Vanilmandelic Acid: A 3-O-methyl ether of 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid. It is an end-stage metabolite of CATECHOLAMINES; EPINEPHRINE; and NOREPINEPHRINE.
vanillylmandelic acid : An aromatic ether that is the 3-O-methyl ether of 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid.

Depressive Disorder: An affective disorder manifested by either a dysphoric mood or loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities. The mood disturbance is prominent and relatively persistent.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To elucidate the influence of total sleep deprivation (TSD) on catecholaminergic neurotransmission, which is assumed to be disturbed in depression, 9 depressive patients collected consecutive 24-h urine samples prior to (baseline), during (TSD) and following total sleep deprivation (post-TSD)."1.29The influence of total sleep deprivation on urinary excretion of catecholamine metabolites in major depression. ( Berger, M; Müller, HU; Müller, WE; Riemann, D, 1993)
"Recurrent fall/winter depressions that remit during spring and summer have been called Seasonal Affective Disorders (SAD) (Wehr and Rosenthal 1989)."1.28Changes in norepinephrine output following light therapy for fall/winter seasonal depression. ( Anderson, JL; Bloomingdale, KL; Mooney, JJ; Samson, JA; Schildkraut, JJ; Vasile, RG, 1992)
"Treatment with lithium carbonate significantly reduced urinary norepinephrine, normetanephrine, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol, and vanillylmandelic acid output as well as whole-body norepinephrine turnover."1.27Electroconvulsive treatment and lithium carbonate. Their effects on norepinephrine metabolism in patients with primary, major depressions. ( Karoum, F; Linnoila, M; Potter, WZ; Rosenthal, N, 1983)
"Thirteen patients with endogenous depression, compared to 25 normal controls, had a significantly greater ratio of the urinary excretion of norepinephrine plus its metabolite normetanephrine to either the sum of the two urinary norepinephrine metabolites 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol plus vanillylmandelic acid or to the sum of urinary norepinephrine and all of its metabolites."1.27Relative activity of metabolic pathways for norepinephrine in endogenous depression. ( Karoum, F; Linnoila, M; Pickar, D; Roy, A, 1986)
