[Increased contents of phenylethanolamine, m-octopamine and p-octopamine in the hypothalamus and brain stem of spontanously hypertensive rats (S.H.R. Kyoto)]. 1978

J C David

Phenylethanolamine, p-octopamine and m-octopamine contents were determined in the hypothalamus and the brain stem of spontaneously hypertensive Rats (S.H.R. Kyto) and the corresponding controls (Wistar Kyoto). In three-week-old Rats, phenylethanolamine and p-octopamine are found to be present in S.H.R. hypothalamus and brain stem at concentrations twice as high as compared to Wistar Kyoto Rats. The amount of m-octopamine is 5-fold higher in the brain stem of S.H.R. Rats as compared to Wistar Kyoto Rats.

D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D007031 Hypothalamus Ventral part of the DIENCEPHALON extending from the region of the OPTIC CHIASM to the caudal border of the MAMMILLARY BODIES and forming the inferior and lateral walls of the THIRD VENTRICLE. Lamina Terminalis,Preoptico-Hypothalamic Area,Area, Preoptico-Hypothalamic,Areas, Preoptico-Hypothalamic,Preoptico Hypothalamic Area,Preoptico-Hypothalamic Areas
D009655 Octopamine An alpha-adrenergic sympathomimetic amine, biosynthesized from tyramine in the CNS and platelets and also in invertebrate nervous systems. It is used to treat hypotension and as a cardiotonic. The natural D(-) form is more potent than the L(+) form in producing cardiovascular adrenergic responses. It is also a neurotransmitter in some invertebrates. Norsynephrine,p-Octopamine,para-Octopamine,4-Octopamine,Norsympatol,alpha-(Aminoethyl)-4-hydroxybenzenemethanol
D010627 Phenethylamines A group of compounds that are derivatives of beta- aminoethylbenzene which is structurally and pharmacologically related to amphetamine. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Phenylethylamines
D001923 Brain Chemistry Changes in the amounts of various chemicals (neurotransmitters, receptors, enzymes, and other metabolites) specific to the area of the central nervous system contained within the head. These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states. Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain
D001933 Brain Stem The part of the brain that connects the CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES with the SPINAL CORD. It consists of the MESENCEPHALON; PONS; and MEDULLA OBLONGATA. Brainstem,Truncus Cerebri,Brain Stems,Brainstems,Cerebri, Truncus,Cerebrus, Truncus,Truncus Cerebrus

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
