Plasma catecholamine levels during water immersion in man. 1986

J P O'Hare, and N Dalton, and J M Roland, and J Gooding, and B Payne, and G Walters, and R J Corrall

In ten normal subjects thermoneutral neck-out water immersion produced a highly significant natriuresis and diuresis mediated via an induced central hypervolaemia. During immersion suppression of plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline was observed but no change occurred in plasma dopamine levels. No correlation was found between the suppression of noradrenaline and the diuresis and natriuresis. The reduction in plasma noradrenaline observed may reflect a widespread diminution of sympatho-adrenal activity during water immersion. This reduction could be a consequence of the cardiovascular changes of immersion and may not be directly involved in the mechanism of the renal response.

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.

D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
