Catecholamines, Low Blood Test

[am00]

Hi,

I got results for catecholamines from blood test. It doesn't say are these free catecholamines? Results show all of three quite low.

Adrenaline 113.6 pmol/L
Noradrenaline 391 pmol/L
Dopamine 44.3 pmol/L

Are generally blood tests measured from conjugated cats?

most catecholamines are bound to something methly or sulphate. the body can activate them and deactivate them so it does not have to keep making new.
