1 A disturbance in catecholamine metabolism has been documented by the demonstration of high homovanillic acid and low vanillyl-mandelic acid urinary excretion rates. 2 This evidence of pressor ...

Indeed, catecholamine biosynthesis was attenuated in mINDY-KO adrenals, whereas plasma steroids and steroid hormone synthesis were unaffected. In vitro studies on an adrenal cell line supported ...

These tests may include checking for byproducts of catecholamine metabolism in the urine, such as metanephrines and vanillylmandelic acid, as well as blood tests and imaging tests to look for tumors.

Study leader, endocrinologist Dr Paul Lee, focused his PhD research on how various hormones affect metabolism. Of central importance is a class of hormones called catecholamines, which regulate ...

Catecholamines are hormones produced by the adrenal glands, which sit on top of the kidneys. Dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline), and norepinephrine are the main catecholamines. Each of these ...
