%X We studied the differences in urinary excretion of MHPG, MHPG-sulphate, free tyramine, 5-HIAA and creatinine, between 12 high and 13 low disinhibitors during a low-catecholamine diet. Disinhibition (a subdimension of sensation seeking) was measured by a reliable and valid Dutch Sensation Seeking Scale. The results showed a significant difference between both groups for tyramine only. High disinhibitors (sensation seekers) excreted more tyramine than the lows. Possible explanations for this unpredicted finding are discussed.<p />
