Dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity in adrenal gland and spleen of rats after fasting and cold exposure. 1985

J García-Estañ, and J A Muñoz, and M C Serrano, and L F Carbonell, and M T Miras Portugal, and T Quesada

Fasting (48 h) results in dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) release both in adrenal gland and spleen, suggestive of an increase in the activity of these organs. Cold exposure (48 h) produces a dissociation of the sympathoadrenal response. When both stimuli are simultaneously employed, the DBH response suggests the preponderance of the response to fasting. Plasma DBH is decreased in all groups studied, this could be due to its half-life and the splenic DBH depletion.
