چکیده

Conformations of noradrenaline, dopamine and ephedrine have been studied in aqueous solutions using high resolution PMR spectroscopy. We found that for dopamine the mole fraction of trans rotamer is increased if pH is changed from acidic to basic while for noradrenaline and ephedrine the opposite trend is observed: gauche rotamer forms of the side chain become more populated. These changes are discussed in relation to the role of the benzylic hydroxyl group for conformation and/or binding to a receptor site in the biophase.

Development of a Simple and Sensitive Terbium Sensitized Fluorescence Method for Determination of Epinephrine and Norepinephrine in Serum

     A simple, rapid, selective and highly sensitive fluorimetric method for determination of two catecholamines, i.e. norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (EP), in serum samples was developed. The method is based on the fluorescence sensitization of terbium (Tb3+) by complexation with both catecholamines in the presence of lanthanum (La3+), as a co-cation, and in a Na...

Changes in Catecholamines and Acetylcholinesterase Levels of Crebellum, Mid-brain and Brain Cortex in Chromium Treated Rats

The short and long term effects of chromium toxicity on brain catecholamines and acetylcholinesterase levels were investigated. Rats were injected daily with varying amounts of chromium. The short term (2 h) administration of chromium (8 mmol/kg) reduced catecholamines level of cerebellum, mid-brain and brain-cortex by 22.8, 19.4 and 21.2% respectively. Acetylcholinesterase activity was also re...

Changes in gene expression levels of the enzymes involved in biosynthesis and degradation of catecholamines following chronic administration of morphine and pain in rats

Introduction: Stress inhibits the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia via activating Hypothalamic- Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. Modified catecholamine systems have been reported following morphine tolerance development. In the current study we tried to evaluate changes in the gene expression levels for MAO-A, MAO-B, COMT and thyrosine hydroxylase (TyH) enzymes following chronic p...
