Abstract
Concentrations of norepinephrine in lower brainstem and hypothalamus of genetically hypertensive rats are significantly lower than in control rats. There is a concomitant reduction (50 percent) in aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase but not in tyrosine hydroxylase activity. A possible relation of this central catecholamine deficiency to the hypertension is discussed.Entities:
