The interplay between the adrenergic system and obesity: a systematic review.
Int J Obes (Lond)2025n=258Systematic Review1 influential citations<h4>Background</h4>Obesity is an increasingly alarming public health problem. Emerging evidence suggests that a dysregulation of sympathetic nervous system activity, particularly related to the adrenergic system, can play a role in the…
A Novel Mouse Model of Sympathoadrenal Catecholamine Deficiency by Ablation of the Tyrosine Hydroxylase Gene With Slc6a4-Cre.
Journal of neurochemistry2026n=5ECatecholamines (CAs) play important roles not only in the central nervous system but also in the periphery. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme for CA synthesis and selective Th ablation in tissues of interest is useful…
Tonic vasomotor control by the rostral ventrolateral medulla: effect of electrical or chemical stimulation of the area containing C1 adrenaline neurons on arterial pressure, heart rate, and plasma catecholamines and vasopressin
Journal of Neuroscience1984We have studied the responses to electrical and chemical stimulation of the ventrolateral medulla in the chloralose-anesthetized, paralyzed, artificially ventilated rat. Locations of most active pressor responses were compared to regions…
The inhibitory action of noradrenaline and adrenaline on acetylcholine output by guinea‐pig ileum longitudinal muscle strip
British Journal of Pharmacology19691. Noradrenaline and adrenaline reduce the output of acetylcholine by the guinea-pig ileum longitudinal strip by up to 80%, both in resting conditions and after stimulation. The effect is graded with dose, and is detectable with…
Distribution of dopamine‐, noradrenaline‐, and adrenaline‐containing cell bodies in the rat medulla oblongata: Demonstrated by the immunocytochemical localization of catecholamine biosynthetic enzymes
The Journal of Comparative Neurology1982The immunocytochemical localization of the biosynthetic enzymes--tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH), and phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT)--was used to determine the cytological features and precise…
Plasma adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine in man and different animal species
The Journal of Physiology19781. The catecholamines adrenaline (A), noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) were determined in plasma samples of man and various animal species using a highly sensitive radioenzymatic method.2. Basal values were determined under conditions…
Thermoregulatory and metabolic phenotypes of mice lacking noradrenaline and adrenaline
Nature1997Adrenaline and noradrenaline, the main effectors of the sympathetic nervous system and adrenal medulla, respectively, are thought to control adiposity and energy balance through several mechanisms. They promote catabolism of triglycerides…
Cerebrospinal fluid adrenaline and noradrenaline in depressed patients
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica1980Mean adrenaline concentration in cerebrospinal fluid measured by a sensitive and specific isotope-derivative assay was significantly lower in 15 depressed patients during illness compared with 18 control subjects. At the time of recovery…
Heat stress, plasma concentrations of adrenaline, noradrenaline, 5-hydroxytryptamine and cortisol, mood state and cognitive performance.
International journal of psychophysiology : official journal of the International Organization of Psychophysiology2006The primary aims of this paper were to examine the effect of heat stress on working memory, choice reaction time and mood state, and to investigate the relationship between heat induced changes in plasma concentrations of selected…
Further Evidence for a Central Stimulatory Action of Catecholamines on Adrenocorticotropin Release in the Rat
Endocrinology1987Catecholamines may stimulate ACTH secretion during stress. To investigate the nature and site of such an action, plasma ACTH was measured in four groups of unanesthetized adult female rats with an indwelling carotid cannula. Sequential…
