TL;DR
It was concluded that fluorometric assays provide as valid and sensitive indices of stress-induced changes in catecholamine excretion in humans as HPLC.
Abstract
Comparisons between catecholamines determined by HPLC (with electrochemical detection) and fluorometry in urine samples from healthy adults and children, respectively, showed high correlations. In agreement with greater specificity for HPLC, mean values were higher for the fluorometric assay. However, it was concluded that fluorometric assays provide as valid and sensitive indices of stress-induced changes in catecholamine excretion in humans as HPLC.

997 Citations1961U. S. von Euler, F. Lishajko
Nerve granules are more sensitive to temperature than adrenal medullary granules but show higher resistance to freezing and thawing and osmotic changes, and noradrenaline is rapidly released even at low temperature at pH 4 and below, and by detergents.

By the addition of small amounts of ethylene diamine (EDA) to the alkali-ascorbic acid mixture used in the trihydroxyindole (THI) method the discoloration of reaction mixture and instability of fluorescence can be prevented, allowing blanks to maintain their fluorescence values for several hours.

The plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine assay, when compared to currently available methods, provides a substantial decrease in the assay time while providing a 10-fold increase in sensitivity which allows the analysis to be performed on 0.75 ml or less of plasma.

An improved automated procedure for analysis of urinary catecholamines, based on the trihydroxyindole reaction is presented, which has a high reproducibility and good specificity, however, high amounts of methyldopa or l -dopa interfere with the analysis.

This paper reviews psychoneuroendocrine research on stress and coping in Scandinavia during the last two decades and concludes that a specific Scandinavian contribution has been the combination of social psychological and psychobiological strategies in the examination of stress at the work place.

This chapter discusses the links between stress and the adrenal medulla, and the methodologic problems associated with measuring this activity, and reviews research documenting the effects of a number of stress-relevant variables on catecholamine secretion.
