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.
