[3H]noradrenaline efflux from platelets and synaptosomes of ethanol-treated rats. 1987

H Ohlin, and I Mattiasson, and B Christensson, and I Nyström, and B Hood

Platelets have the ability to take up, store and release biogenic amines and have therefore been used as models for neurons in studies of neuropsychiatric disorders and hypertension. We have studied the spontaneous efflux of [3H]noradrenaline from platelets and synaptosomes of rats chronically treated with ethanol. Male control rats had a more rapid [3H]noradrenaline efflux both from synaptosomes and platelets than female control rats. Ethanol treatment increased efflux in female rats, again both in platelets and synaptosomes. These results suggest that a parallelism exists in noradrenaline release between synaptosomes and platelets, both basal and in situations which stimulate the release.

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.

D000431 Ethanol A clear, colorless liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant. It is widely used as a solvent and preservative in pharmaceutical preparations as well as serving as the primary ingredient in ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
