Dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity in serum following acute myocardial infarction: an evaluation of this parameter for routine use as an index of sympathetic activity. 1976

T Gutteberg, and O Borud, and J H Stromme

Dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity was measured in sera from 114 normal males and from 11 patients on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 10th day following acute myocardial infarction. A significant elevation of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase levels (P less than 0.001) was found during the first two days after infarction when compared with the 10th-day values. Only a few activities were above the reference range. Temporary elevations of glucose and glycerol levels were also found. Assay of serum dopamine-beta-hydroxylase may be a useful parameter of sympathetic activity in longitudinal studies in which each individual is used as his own reference.
