Plasma dopamine-beta-hydroxylase and platelet monoamine oxidase activities in pigs with different susceptibility to the malignant hyperthermia syndrome by halothane.

چکیده
Plasma DBH and platelet MAO activities were measured by radioenzymatic assay in 10 Large-White and 20 Piétrain pigs 9 to 11 weeks old. Piétrain pigs within the same litter, challenged by halothane, were classified as malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptible or not according to their reaction. The Large-White pig strain was not susceptible to MH. Plasma DBH activity did not differ according to strain or to MH susceptibility. Platelet MAO was lower in Large-White pigs but was not affected by MH susceptibility in Piétrain pigs. The results do not confirm any nervous differences in MH-susceptible pigs.

''Malignant Hypothermia'' syndrome is a rare, but dangerous occurrence, the aetiology of which is not known. Up to this date 180 cases have been reported. This syndrome i's seen generally in :male children over age of two years, and especially in adolescent males. Also those people with muscular abnormalities are more susciptable to this illnes'S.

متن کاملThe Effects of Immobilization Stress on the Synthesis and the Catabolism of Dopamine and Norepinephrine in the Rat Hypothalamus!
= Abstract = Immobilization stress was adopted as a prototype stress model for studying the effects of stress on dopaminergic and noradrenergic neuronal activity in the rat hypothalamus. Norepinephrine content was significantly increased after 4 hours of immobilization stress. Also, the turnover rates of both dopamine and norepinephrine were found to be significantly increased after the stress,...
متن کاملPorcine malignant hyperthermia. I: Metabolic and physiological changes.
Porcine malignant hyperthermia was studied in seven Pietrain pigs under standardized experimental conditions. In five animals malignant hyperthermia was triggered with suxamethonium and halothane, but in two pigs suxamethonium alone was used. Characteristic metabolic and physiological changes were found and these are discussed with regard to a possible mechanism to explain the malignant nature ...

Four different noncatecholic and one catecholic tetrahydroisoquinolines (TIQs), cyclic condensation derivatives of beta-phenylethylamine and dopamine with aldehydes or keto acids, were examined for the inhibition of rat and mouse brain monoamine oxidase (MAO) and rat striatum tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity. Simple noncatecholic TIQs were found to act as moderate (TIQ, N-methyl-TIQ, 1-methyl...
متن کاملAltered expression of cardiac myosin isozymes associated with the malignant hyperthermia genotype in swine.
BACKGROUND Anesthetic-induced malignant hyperthermia (MH) in humans and pigs is associated with dramatic alterations in cardiac function. However, it remains controversial as to whether MH-associated cardiac symptoms represent a primary difference of myocardium or a secondary alteration consequent to increases in the hyperthermic stress. Here the authors describe changes in myosin isoform expre...
