神経疾患を有しない手術患者を対象に,高速液体クロマトグラフィーを用いてモノアミンおよび関連物質,合計13物質の髄液中濃度を測定し加齢変化とその意義について検討した。髄液中dopamine(DA),norepinephrine(NE)濃度は加齢とともに有意な増加を示した。髄液中tyrosine, 3—methoxy−4—hydroxy—phenylalanine(3—OMD)濃度は加齢とともに有意な増加を示したが他のモノアミン前駆物質濃度には有意な加齢による変化を認めなかった。モノアミン代謝産物においては有意な加齢による変化は認められなかった。DAとNE濃度,tyrosineとtryptophan濃度,tyrosineと3—OMD濃度,tryptophanと5—hydroxy—tryptophan濃度,homovanillic acid(HVA)と5—hydroxyindoleacetic acid濃度の間で有意な正の相関関係が認められた。モノアミンとそれに対応する代謝産物の関係ではDAとHVA濃度の間には有意な相関はみられなかったが,NEと3—methoxy−4—hydroxy-phenylglycol濃度の間には有意な正の相関が認められた。以上の結果について神経終末から分泌される神経伝達物質の量,受容体の容量,伝達物質の代謝,血液脳関門と髄液からの排除機構などの面から考察した。
We studied age changes of concentrations of thir-teen substances including monoamines, their precur-sors and metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid, using high performance liquid chromatography. Cere-brospinal fluid was obtained from 106 subjects without neurological diseases (44.2±17.3years) who underwent minor operations under lumber anesthe-sia.
Concentrations of dopamine, norepinephrine, tyrosine and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylalanine were significantly increased with age, while concen-trations of other monoamine precursors and metabolites were unchanged. There was a significant positive correlation between concentra-tions of the following substances : dopamine and norepinephrine ; tyrosine and tryptophan ; tyrosine and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylalanine ; trypto-phan and 5-hydroxytryptophan ; homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. Norepinephrine concentrations were positively correlated with con-centrations of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-phenylglycol, whereas dopamine concentrations were not with homovanillic acid concentrations. The significance of these results was discussed with regard to age changes of transmitter secretion and metabolism, the binding capacity of receptors and cerebrospinal fluid kinetics of the measured substances.
