Introduction

guidelines
3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol (DOPEG)is a normal norepinephrine metabolite present in CSF, plasma and urine in human (PMID 6875564). In healthy individuals there is a tendency for free DOPEG to increase and for conjugated DOPEG to decrease with age; plasmatic DOPEG levels are significantly lower in depressed patients as compared to healthy controls (PMID 6671452)
