The effects of long-term antidepressant treatment on biogenic amine metabolism and on various indexes of presynaptic and postsynaptic receptor function are evaluated to provide support for hypotheses of amine receptor abnormalities in depression and indicate the need for expanded studies ofAmine receptor function in patients.

There were significant correlations between the yohimbine-induced rise in plasma MHPG level and patient-rated anxiety and nervousness and the frequency of reported panic attacks and it is suggested that impaired presynaptic noradrenergic neuronal regulation may exist in patients with frequent panic attacks.

Central nervous system depressants, amobarbital and Ro 5–0690, reduced the degree of response to yohimbine, whilst the CNS stimulants imipramine and epinephrine potentiated the yohimine effect.

Results indicate that determination of the plasma MHPG response to yohimbine may be of value in assessing alpha 2 adrenergic autoreceptor function in humans.

Findings are consistent with findings that have shown abnormal, perhaps excessive, central noradrenergic activity in patients with mania, but not with those suggesting deficits in serotoninergic function.
