[Concentration of biogenic amines in different brain structures of the rat adapted to chronic emotional stress]. 1985

I P Anokhina, and E A Iumatov, and T M Ivanova, and Iu G Skotselias

The level of noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-OT), and that of 5-oxyindolacetic acid was studied in four brain structures of rats having endured acute or chronic immobilization emotional stress. In stress adapted animals, NA level was normalized in the hypothalamus and increased in the midbrain. DA level was increased in the hypothalamus, the midbrain and the medulla, and 5-OT level was increased in most of the structures studied. During above-mentioned shifts, the animals did not react by additional changes of NA, DA, and 5-OT levels to subsequent immobilizations. Observed rearrangements of turnover of neurotransmitters may be considered as one of the forms of manifestation of chronic emotional stress adaptation mechanisms.

D008526 Medulla Oblongata The lower portion of the BRAIN STEM. It is inferior to the PONS and anterior to the CEREBELLUM. Medulla oblongata serves as a relay station between the brain and the spinal cord, and contains centers for regulating respiratory, vasomotor, cardiac, and reflex activities.

D008636 Mesencephalon The middle of the three primitive cerebral vesicles of the embryonic brain. Without further subdivision, midbrain develops into a short, constricted portion connecting the PONS and the DIENCEPHALON. Midbrain contains two major parts, the dorsal TECTUM MESENCEPHALI and the ventral TEGMENTUM MESENCEPHALI, housing components of auditory, visual, and other sensorimoter systems. Midbrain,Mesencephalons,Midbrains
D008702 Methaqualone A quinazoline derivative with hypnotic and sedative properties. It has been withdrawn from the market in many countries because of problems with abuse.

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.

These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states. Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain
D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
