1. The noradrenaline content of individual brain nuclei was measured by using high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with electrochemical detection. 2. This study was performed on spontaneously hypertensive rats during the development of hypertension (4 and 12 weeks) and also on deoxycorticosterone-salt hypertensive rats after 1 and 4 weeks of treatment. 3. In young spontaneously hypertensive rats a significant decrease in noradrenaline content was observed in some medullary and hypothalamic nuclei which are involved in cardiovascular regulation. No change was observed after deoxycorticosterone-salt treatment. 4. It is proposed that a change in adrenergic activity, restricted to brain cardiovascular centres, could represent a mechanism triggering spontaneous hypertension.

This study compares the uptake and release of [3H]norepinephrine and residual 3H content in the tail artery of 7- to 9-week-old and 16- to 18-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and age matched normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKR). The composition of the 3H overflow from the artery, analyzed with column chromatography, revealed similar proportion of norepinephrine and in metabolites, namely normetanephrine, O-methylated deaminated products, dihydroxy-phenylglycol, and dihydroxymandelic acid in SHR and WKR. [3H]Norepinephrine was retained however in greater proportion in vessels of young and older SHR than in WKR.
