Patients with functional and inflammatory diseases of large intestine revealed changes of the activity of the sympathetic-adrenal system both in the hormonal and peripheral mediator links, i. e. against the background of pronounced deficit of noradrenaline all groups of patients showed an increased level of adrenalin indicating tension of medullary layer of the adrenal. The blood serotonin content was of value in the differential diagnosis of irritation syndrome of the colon and unspecific ulcerative colitis.
