The Synthesis, Uptake and Storage of Catecholamines in the Adrenal Medulla. The Effect of Drugs

  • Chapter
Catecholamines

Abstract

The biosynthesis of noradrenaline in the adrenal medulla follows the same pathway as that described for sympathetic nerves (cf. Chapter by Von Euler, pp. 186). In fact, adrenal medulla has been the main tissue source for the isolation and purification of the enzymes catalyzing the three steps in the synthesis of noradrenaline from dietary tyrosine (Fellman, 1959; Levin et al., 1960; Nagatsu et al., 1964).

The review does not cover work published later than March 1970,
