Abstract excerpt
Physiological stress induces tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme for catecholamine biosynthesis, via trans-synaptic mechanisms within the adrenal medulla. Previous studies have implicated cAMP as a second messenger capable of inducing tyrosine hydroxylase; however, it is unclear whether any receptor coupled to adenylate cyclase mediates tyrosine hydroxylase induction. Recently, vasoactive intestinal...
