Abstract
Summary
An increased urinary excretion of tryptamine occurred in human hypertensives during treatment with 5 monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Doses of drugs purported to produce comparable clinical effects, appear to have approximately equivalent enzymatic effects as indicated by changes in urinary tryptamine. It is recommended that biochemical observations of this type be included in further studies on therapeutic effects of these agents.
