[Excretion of catecholamines and their precursors after heterotopic heart allotransplantation in rats]. / Ekskretsiia katekholaminov i ikh predshestvennikov pri geterotopicheskoi allotransplantatsii serdtsa u krys

ABSTRACT

The urine content of catecholamines and their precursors was studied in lineal rats subjected to heterotopic heart allotransplantation, the dynamics being traced from 3 days preoperatively and throughout the period of transplant function (6.8 +/- 0.8 days, on the average). Heterotopic heart allotransplantation was shown to activate the sympathetic link of the sympathoadrenal system.
