Abstract
Concentrations of the major metabolites of biogenic amines in cerebrospinal fluid and activity of serum dopamine-β-hydroxylase in abstinent alcoholics were measured, suggesting that withdrawal symptoms of alcoholics were based on the abnormality of serotonin and dopamine metabolism in the body.Keywords
