Catecholamine levels and receptor expression in low protein rat offspring
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Low birthweight in humans has been shown to lead to increased resting pulse rate in adult life, suggesting possible increased sympathoadrenal activity. The hypothesis that early growth restriction is associated with permanent alterations in catecholamine metabolism was tested. METHODS: Circulating catecholamine concentrations (by radioimmunoassay) and adipocyte adrenoceptor expression from different fat...
