title: Norepinephrine level in the hypothalamus of the genetically hypertensive mouse.
abstract: The norepinephrine content of the hypothalamus of young mice with high blood pressure was statistically lower than that of mice with low blood pressure. The difference was not evident in older mice from these same strains. No differences in dopamine content were found suggesting a genetic difference in the activity of the converting enzyme.
