[Brain structural monoamines under inhalation anesthesia].

It was established in albino rats that the activity of the processes that are responsible for the functioning of the metabolic link in noradrenaline synthesis varies under ether and ftorotan anesthesia. It was recorded that there is an increase in the activity of DOPA decarboxylation in the brain under deep ether anesthesia as well as in the activity of dopamine decarboxylation during egress from anesthesia. Ftorotan anesthesia is characterized by increased hydroxylation of phenylalanine and decarboxylation of DOPA, and by inhibition of the activity of tyrosine and dopamine hydroxylation. Egress of animals from ftorotan anesthesia is associated with an intensive noradrenaline formation in the brain.
