Objective To study the mechanism of liver-qi stagnation syndrome of rat models. Methods The binding method was used to make rat models of liver-qi stagnation syndrome and the quantitative changes of hypothalamus norepinephrine (NE)
epinephrine (E)
dopamine (DA)
and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) before and after modeling were determined with reversed phase ion pair (RP-IP)-HPLC. Results The level of E
DA and 5-HT was remarkably increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01) while NE decreased significantly (P<0.01)
and they were all improved after medication. Conclusion The liver-qi stagnation syndrome is closely related with level of hypothalamus NE
