abstract = "The excretion of catecholamines and their precursor and the major dopamine metabolite in urine was studied in 3 to 18 year old Down Syndrome (DS) subjects. A drenaline and noradrenaline concentrations were used as indicators of physiological stress and dopamine, L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) concentrations were used as indicators of the contribution of the dopaminergic system to the kidney function. An optical fiber biosensor was used with a view to assess the significance of such of fast and simple determination of catecholamines and their precursor and metabolite in DS patients.",
