Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are potent hypotensive agents. To determine if they play a counterregulatory role in catecholamine excess in patients with pheochromocytoma, plasma levels were measured in four patients undergoing resection of sporadically occurring tumors. Each patient was prepared with phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride (Dibenzyline); two patients also received propranolol. Blood was obtained for plasma levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine, CGRP, and ANP at induction of anesthesia, skin incision, tumor manipulation, tumor removal, and 24 hours after operation. Baseline plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine levels were markedly elevated and increased significantly with tumor manipulation and decreased significantly 24 hours after operation. CGRP and ANP levels were slightly elevated throughout but did not change significantly with tumor manipulation or early after tumor resection. Circulating CGRP and ANP do not appear to have an acute counterregulatory role in catecholamine excess in patients with pheochromocytoma but may exert some influence on postoperative hypotension after tumor removal.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.

D015740 Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide A 37-amino acid peptide derived from the calcitonin gene. It occurs as a result of alternative processing of mRNA from the calcitonin gene. The neuropeptide is widely distributed in the brain, gut, perivascular nerves, and other tissue. The peptide produces multiple biological effects and has both circulatory and neurotransmitter modes of action. In particular, it is a potent endogenous vasodilator.
