Abstract

Repeated daily immobilizationof rats results in a neuronally dependent elevation of tyrosine hydroxylase in the adrenal medulla. Phenylethanolamine-N-methyl transfera selevels are also increased. After cessation of immobilization intervals, tyrosine hydroxylaselevels decrease toward preimmobilization levels with a half-life of about 3 days. These results are discussed with reference to the changes in adrenal and urinary catecholamine levels found with repeated stress and estimation of the rate of tyrosine hydroxylase synthesis.
