Abstract
Two main lines of evidence have contributed to our present understanding of the regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the adrenal medulla. One was provided by Axelrod (1971) by showing that tyrosine hydroxylase activity is regulated transynaptically, the other by Kvetnansky and collaborators (1971) by showing that the injection of dibutyryl cyclic AMP restores the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase in hypophysectomized animals.
