title: A study of the neurohumoral control of glycolysis in the mouse brain in vivo: role of noradrenaline and dopamine.
abstract: Intraventricularly injected noradrenaline, dopamine and isoprenaline increased glycolysis as shown by the decrease in the concentration of "free" glycogen and increase in the concentration of lactate. The effects of noradrenaline and isoprenaline were reduced in mice which had been pretreated with alpha-methyl-p-tyrosin. DL-Propranolol blocked the increase in glycolysis caused by noradrenaline, isoprenaline, sodium fluoride and analogues of 3,5-cyclic adenosine monophosphate. It is suggested that the results of this investigation can be explained by the various drugs and neurohormones acting on the adenyl cyclase system in vivo, either by blocking the action of the neurohormone on the membrane bound enzyme or by antagonizing the effect of 3,5-cyclic adenosine monophosphate on glycolysis.
