While clinical studies have focused on putative central measures of NE activity, few studies have been published using peripheral measures. In this study, the relationship between plasma free NE metabolite, plasma free 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (pMHPG), and impulsive aggression was explored in subjects with personality disorder.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Subjects were 30 male subjects with personality disorder in whom basal plasma free MHPG concentrations were obtained.
