Adrenaline, norepinephrine and dopamine were stereotaxically administered into mediobasal hypothalamus of rats. The data obtained revealed an activating catecholamine effect on the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-adrenal system (HHAS). The most obvious activating effect on the hormonal status of HHAS was characteristic of norepinephrine, less pronounced was the effect of "stress" doses of adrenaline and dopamine, the aforementioned effect was insignificant with dopamine in physiological concentration.
