After administration of isadrine excretion of noradrenaline was increased in schizophrenic patients with symptoms of depression or anxiety. This phenomenon was not observed in healthy persons and in patients with circular depression. Data on liberation of noradrenaline by other amines in schizophrenia and displacement of noradrenaline in schizophrenia by isadrine, which does not accumulate in normal storage sites, suggest that storage of noradrenaline is impaired in schizophrenia.
