TL;DR: Investigations of the metabolism of the adrenergic mediators, epinephrine and norepinephrine, and development of techniques for the measurement of these catecholamines and their major products of metabolism in body fluids and tissues, have resulted in a better understanding of autonomic disturbances.
Abstract: KNOWLEDGE of the physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry of the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal medulla has been accumulating rapidly during the past fifteen years. Investigations of the metabolism of the adrenergic mediators, epinephrine and norepinephrine, development of techniques for the measurement of these catecholamines and their major products of metabolism in body fluids and tissues, along witli studies of their physiologic effects and the synthesis of pharmacologic antagonists, have resulted in a better understanding of autonomic disturbances. Some of the information and techniques useful to the diagnosis and management of patients with suspected or proven pheochromocytomas will be reviewed.
