Book ChapterDOI
A Role for Tetrahydroisoquinoline Alkaloids as False Adrenergic Neurotransmitters in Alcoholism
TL;DR: In this article, a group of tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) alkaloids can be biosynthesized in people during alcohol intake, and these substances can then function as false adrenergic transmitters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for degeneration of sympathetic nerve terminals caused by the ortho- and para-quinones of 6-hydroxydopamine.
TL;DR: Data suggest that both the ortho‐ and para‐quinones of 6‐Hydroxydopamine are capable of producing a chemical sympathectomy similar to that caused by 6‐hydroxydopolamine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids: uptake, storage, and secretion by the adrenal medulla and by adrenergic nerves.
TL;DR: In in vitro experiments with isolated rat irides, it is shown that 6,7-dihydroxy-TIQ (the condensation product of dopamine with formaldehyde) can be taken up and accumulated by the sympathetic nerve plexus in the iris, consistent with the notion that TIQs may be capable of acting as false adrenergic neurotransmitters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tetrahydroisoquinolines and the catecholamine-binding granules of the adrenal medulla
Robert S. Greenberg,Gerald Cohen +1 more
TL;DR: The relative proportions of catecholamines and tetrahydroisoquinolines were similar in the whole gland and in the chromaffin granules.
Journal ArticleDOI
The inhibition of 3H-biogenic amine uptake by 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine: A comparison with the effects of 6-hydroxydopamine
Richard E. Heikkila,Gerald Cohen +1 more
TL;DR: Kinetic analyses showed that 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine had almost the same affinity for the 3H-serotonin transport system as did3H-dopamine itself, which may help to explain the relative specificity of 6-hydroxydopamine for adrenergic nerve terminals in contrast to the effects of 5, 6-dhirentryptamine on both adrenergic and serotonergic nerve Terminals.
