Abstract: Phenylethanolamine, p-octopamine and m-octopamine contents were determined in the hypothalamus and the brain stem of spontaneously hypertensive Rats (S.H.R. Kyto) and the corresponding controls (Wistar Kyoto). In three-week-old Rats, phenylethanolamine and p-octopamine are found to be present in S.H.R. hypothalamus and brain stem at concentrations twice as high as compared to Wistar Kyoto Rats. The amount of m-octopamine is 5-fold higher in the brain stem of S.H.R. Rats as compared to Wistar Kyoto Rats.
