Inhibitory effects of nitric oxide and nitrosative stress on dopamine-beta-hydroxylase.
Dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DbetaH) is a copper-containing enzyme that uses molecular oxygen and ascorbate to catalyze the addition of a hydroxyl group on the beta-carbon of dopamine to form norepinephrine. While norepinephrine causes vasoconstriction following reflex sympathetic stimulation, nitric oxide (NO) formation results in vasodilatation via a guanylyl cyclase-dependent mechanism. In thi...
متن کاملDopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency
Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DbetaH) deficiency is a very rare form of primary autonomic failure characterized by a complete absence of noradrenaline and adrenaline in plasma together with increased dopamine plasma levels. The prevalence of DbetaH deficiency is unknown. Only a limited number of cases with this disease have been reported. DbetaH deficiency is mainly characterized by cardiovascular...
متن کاملSerum dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity.
Dopamine-yS-liydroxylase, the enzyme which converts dopamine to norepinephrine, is released into the perfusate upon stimulation of the isolated perfused adrenal gland and after stimulation of the nerves to the isolated perfused spleen. This study was undertaken to determine whether dopamine-/?hydroxylase activity could be detected circulating in blood. By using a sensitive new enzymatic assay, ...
متن کاملDopamine-beta-hydroxylase effectors in neuroblastoma.
Investigation of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) serum activity as a potential diagnostic/prognostic tool for neuroblastoma did not confirm previous reports. However, age-dependent differences in normal children's DBH "activation" by water dilution +/- copper addition was revealed. These findings of age-related DBH effector differences suggest that the strong age relationship of DBH activity ma...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of dopamine on spinal synaptic transmission via dopamine D1-like receptors in neonatal rats.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dopamine released from the endings of descending dopaminergic nerve fibres in the spinal cord may be involved in modulating functions such as locomotion and nociception. Here, we examined the effects of dopamine on spinal synaptic transmissions in rats. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Spinal reflex potentials, monosynaptic reflex potential (MSR) and slow ventral root potential (s...
