Abstract
The relationship between blood serotonin, norepinephrine, dopa and lipid levels and the degree of hyperactivity, impulsiveness, inattention, and aggressiveness in 35 boys with ADHD, combined type, was studied at the Ness Ziona Mental Health Center, Nes Zona, Tel Aviv University, and other centers in Israel.
Highlights
The relationship between blood serotonin, norepinephrine, dopa and lipid levels and the degree of hyperactivity, impulsiveness, inattention, and aggressiveness in 35 boys with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), combined type, was studied at the Ness Ziona Mental Health Center, Nes Zona, Tel Aviv University, and other centers in Israel
Catecholamine and lipid levels were unrelated to severity of ADHD
A previously suggested link between low serum cholesterol levels and impulsive and aggressive behavior in ADHD children is not supported by the present study
