Humoral mechanism should be responsible for activation of PNMT (phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase) by CRF (corticotropin-releasing factor) in vivo (Lima and Sourkes, 1987). Small amounts of serum (10 microliters) caused a sig. dose dependent activation of bovine PNMT activity (19.0 +/- 1.8%) changing in Km and Vmax values in vitro. Human/rat or ovine CRF--in high amounts (8.4 nmol) only--increase at the rate of just 10% bovine PNMT activity in vitro. At the moment, we do not know which factor in serum is responsible for the increase in A (adrenalin) synthesis in vitro.
在体内,体液机制可能是促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子(CRF)激活苯乙醇胺N-甲基转移酶(PNMT)的原因(利马和苏尔克斯,1987年)。少量血清(10微升)在体外可引起牛PNMT活性显著的剂量依赖性激活(19.0±1.8%),同时Km和Vmax值发生变化。人/大鼠或羊的CRF——仅在高剂量(8.4纳摩尔)时——在体外仅使牛PNMT活性增加10%。目前,我们尚不清楚血清中的哪种因素导致了体外肾上腺素(A)合成的增加。
