[Effect of adaptation to the altitude hypoxia on catecholamine metabolism in rats with spontaneous hereditary hypertension]. 1982

An increase in the noradrenaline concentration in the myocardium and vas deferens was revealed in 11- and 15-week-old spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR), this increase being less marked in 15-week-old SHR. On the contrary, catecholamine metabolic changes in the adrenals were more pronounced in 15-week-old SHR and consisted in an appreciable reduction of the content of noradrenaline and adrenalin. The concentration of noradrenaline was inversely proportional to the magnitude of arterial pressure. Adaptation to the daily 6-hour action of hypoxia (5000 m above sea level) by the 4th day prevents the development of hypertension in SHR and related changes in catecholamine metabolism in the adrenals.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow. Muscle, Cardiac,Muscle, Heart,Cardiac Muscle,Myocardia,Cardiac Muscles,Heart Muscle,Heart Muscles,Muscles, Cardiac,Muscles, Heart
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.
