The olfactory system in rats is part of the limbic region with extensive afferent connections with brain areas involved in the regulation of behaviour and autonomic responses. The existence of the endothelin system and ...

Norepinephrine levels and tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activities have been used to evaluate the effect of castration and testosterone treatment on the sympathetic innervation of the adult vas deferens. ...

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is a rate-limiting enzyme broadly expressed in noradrenergic and dopaminergic neurons in the central nervous system.57,70 Tyrosine hydroxylase is also expressed by peripheral sympathetic neurons98 ...

The olfactory bulbs play a relevant role in the interaction between the animal and its environment. The existence of endothelin-1 and -3 in the rat olfactory bulbs suggests their role in the control of diverse functions ...

Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of catecholamines and has been connected to aggravated progression of periodontal disease under chronic stress. Obesity is known to increase the ...

Tyrosine hydroxylase catalyses the hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to l-DOPA, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of catecholamines. Mutations in the TH gene encoding tyrosine hydroxylase are associated with the autosomal ...

Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from cerebral catecholamine deficiency. Tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency has been reported in fewer than 40 patients worldwide. To recapitulate ...

Hypothalamic norepinephrine (NE) release regulates arterial pressure by altering sympathetic nervous system activity. Because angiotensin (Ang) (1-7) decreases hypothalamic NE release and this effect may be correlated with ...
