Abstract

Plasma levels of 3 methoxy, 4-hydroxy phenylethyl glycol (MHPG) of detoxified alcoholics were found to be positively correlated with age as previously found with normal subjects. The slope of the regression line of plasma MHPG and age of the alcoholics in remission was significantly steeper than that of normal controls, indicating a faster age-related increase of MHPG in alcoholics.
