Abstract:
This work represents one part of our research project, in which we try to prove, that in the perinatal period exist a humoral regulation between noradrenaline producing organs. In this study we used a rat model that allowed blocking synthesis of noradrenalin in the brain and evaluated gene expression and protein levels of noradrenaline key synthesis enzymes such as tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) in peripheral noradrenaline producing organs. As a result we showed increased gene expression of TH and DBH in adrenal glands. This data indicate that if neonatal rat bra

Objective Episodic cluster headache is characterized by abnormalities in tyrosine metabolism (i.e. elevated levels of dopamine, tyramine, octopamine and synephrine and low levels of noradrenalin in plasma and platelets.)

Abstract:
Noradrenaline spillover from skeletal muscle vascular areas increases during exercise but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Muscle contraction itself causes changes in many factors that could affect noradrenaline spillover. For instance, it has been reported that bradykinin is synthesized in skeletal muscle areas during contraction. Because the B2 bradykinin receptor facilitates noradrenaline spillover, it may be involved in the increase associated with contraction. In this experiment, we studied the effect of bradykinin on noradrenaline spillover in the in situ canine gracili

Abstract:
Adenosine deaminase (1 unit/ml) potentiated the lipolytic action of noradrenaline in adipocytes isolated from brown adipose tissue of 1- and 6-week-old rats by decreasing the EC50 (concn. giving 50% of maximal effect) for noradrenaline by 3-4-fold. With cells from neonatal rabbit tissue, adenosine deaminase only had a small, non-significant, effect on the EC50 for noradrenaline. Lipolysis in rat brown adipocytes was inhibited by low concentrations of N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA). Rabbit cells were far less sensitive to PIA. PIA, prostaglandin E1 and nicotinate all inhibited noradrenaline-

Abstract:
Noradrenaline is a neurotransmitter that is involved in various psychological processes. In the neurotransmission process, noradrenaline binds to an adrenergic receptor by forming a complex of hydrogen bonds between its two catechol ring hydroxyl groups and the amino acid residues of adrenergic receptors. Although the two catechol ring hydroxyl groups play a crucial role in making hydrogen bonds to the binding site of the adrenergic receptor, the contribution of the catechol ring hydroxyl groups to the intramolecular stability that may affect docking has not been fully studied.

Noradrenaline responsiveness was assessed by measuring the respiration rate of isolated brown adipocytes in the presence of different concentrations of noradrenaline.
