Neurally Mediated Increase in Dopamine-β-Hydroxylase Activity
Open accessAbstract
The development of a sensitive and specific enzymatic assay for dopamine-β-hydroxylase has enabled us to measure the activity of this enzyme in several tissues where it has previously been measured. The administration of reserpine leads to an increase in dopamine-β-hydroxylase activity in the rat adrenal, heart, salivary gland, and in sympathetic ganglia. The increase in the heart is preceded by a small but significant fall. We have confirmed the increase in tyrosine hydroxylase which follows the administration of reserpine and have found that the activity of phenylethanolamine- N -methyltransferase also increases after administration of this drug. The activities of two enzymes not involved in the synthesis of catecholamines, monoamine oxidase and lactate dehydrogenase, are not affected by reserpine treatment. The rise of dopamine-β-hydroxylase activity in the sympathetic ganglia is blocked by surgical decentralization.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
