“…Furthermore, glucocorticoids levels are very important in the expression of PMNT and thus in the rate of ADR synthesis. Glucocorticoids are very relevant in the size of the stores of ADR available for release in the brain (Moore and Phillipson, 1975b, a), adrenal medulla (Kelner and Pollard, 1985, Stachowiak et al, 1988, Wan and Livett, 1989, Ross et al, 1990, Betito et al, 1992, Wong et al, 1992, heart (Kennedy and Ziegler, 1991, Krizanova et al, 2001, Kvetnansky et al, 2004 or lungs (Kennedy et al, 1993). The activities of both tyrosine hydroxylase and dopaminehydroxylase are also increased in the adrenal medulla under the influence of glucocorticoids (Carroll et al, 1991).…”
