Maes M, De Vos N, Van Hunsel F, Van West D, Westenberg H, Cosyns P, Neels H: Pedophilia is accompanied by increased plasma concentrations of catecholamines, in particular epinephrine. Psychiatry Res. 2001 Aug 5;103(1):43-9.
Plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations were measured in pedophiles and normal men both in placebo conditions and after administration of meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), a post-synaptic 5-HT2 receptor agonist. The plasma concentrations of catecholamines, in particular epinephrine, were significantly increased in pedophiles. It is concluded that pedophiles may have an increased activity of the sympathoadrenal system. |
