[Effects of gamma-oryzanol on norepinephrine contents in the brain and stomach of rats (author's transl)]. 1979

H Kaneta, and K Kujira, and T Shigenaga, and K Itaya

Norepinephrine (NE) content in the brain slightly but significantly increased when gamma-oryzanol (100 mg/kg, s.c.) was given once daily for 1, 5 or 10 days, while NE in the gastric area was not affected. The turnover rate of brain NE tended to decrease with the administration of gamma-oryzanol. From the results, it is likely that successive doses of gamma-oryzanol increase brain NE by inhibiting degradation or release of NE.

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.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
