    Abstract:
    Catecholamine levels and turnover have been studied in 5 week old male genetically hypertensive (LH) and normotensive (LN) rats of the Sprague-Dawley Lyon strain. The results demonstrate increased hypothalamic adrenaline levels and a reduced adrenaline turnover in the dorsal midline of the medulla oblongata (DCMO) in the LH rats compared with LN control rats. The reduction of adrenaline turnover in the DCMO may contribute to the development of spontaneous hypertension.
