Abstract excerpt
Hypoxia is shown to regulate the stress hormone epinephrine through its biosynthesis by phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) via PNMT gene activation and transcription factors Egr-1 and Sp1 in adrenal medulla-derived PC12 cells. Moderate hypoxia (5% oxygen) markedly stimulates PNMT promo...
