Q: 14/male results/ catecholamine norm? norepinephrine, supine 136.0 pg/ml epinephrine, <10 pg/ml dopamine, <10 pg/ml norepinephrine, stand 457.0 pg/ml epinephrine, 14.0 pg/ml dopamine, 16.0 pg/m

Norepinephrine is: Elevated with normal Epinephrine and Dopamine could be from effects of high protein foods, medications or physical activity. Is your dr checking for pheochromocytoma or cause of depression? Give us some feedback!

Q: 24 hour urine dopamine level is very high. the range is up to 500. my level was almost 700. what can cause this. all else normal (epinephrine, norepinephrine, metenephrine , etc) although plasma epinephrine was elevated 2 x range ? urine normal?

: I assume you had these tests because of high blood pressure. I assume you're not taking any meds that can raise urinary dopamine. A study showed that elevated urinary dopamine alone wasn't diagnostic of pheochromocytoma. Elevated plasma epinephrine alone is nonspecific &amp; seen in stress, vigorous exercise, alcohol use,smoking, caffeine excess. An endocrinologist can advise you best.

Q: patient with sexual ocd is on treatment with ssris. can we give methyl dopa to stop dopamine to epinephrine conversion so that his sns must not activate to indulge in his routine! if no, any other way to stop his palpitations etc?

: Your deductions and reasonings are not accurate. What the fiend needs the doc giving the meds explaining the sideeffect of palpitation to see what can be done

Q: very low fsh (1.0) high testosterone 1,250. breast development. hypo/hyper thyroid. i am 27 year old born male. what could cause this ? also elevated epinephrine in blood and elevated dopamine in urine. if there is connection ?

: All laboratory/imaging results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. It would be prudent to consult an endocrinologist. Wish you good health!

Q: what is the value of dopamine?

Dopamine: . Dopamine is for executive functions such as planning and alertness, etc.

Q: what are brand names for dopamine?

Dopamine: Some trade names are Intropin, (dopamine) Revimine, DOPA.

Q: what are the food sources of dopamine?

Most food sources: Dopamine by itself is not found in any food sources but there are two Amino Acids that are converted to Dopamine in the body. Look for foods with phenylananine and tyrosine in them, though this is not very difficult to find. Most meats, dairy, and grains are high in both of these amino acids.

Question 1

after intestinal infarction and all organs shutting down is there a way to revive a person, besides reanimating them with epinephrine and dopamine?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: No two cases are exactly the same, and life and death have complicated details... which means there is no correct answer here. People don't just get "reanimated" by a couple of drugs, if they are critically ill. If all organs are shutting down, that is one of the ways we humans die. A couple of drugs won't make the difference. However, "all organs shutting down" needs some detailed clarification.

Question 2

does acetylcholine cause dopamine, norepinephrine, or epinephrine to be released?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since: Acetylcholine is the preganglionic transmitter

Question 3

sine seratonin depletes other nerotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine...by "deplete" does it mean a permanent thing?

Accepted Answer

Not correct: Serotonin does not deplete other neurotransmitters, but there is a balance especially between Dopamine and serotonin.  This balance is dynamic and constantly re-establishing itself.  Unless there is damage to neurons (which there can be when abusing certain drugs) neurotransmitter changes would not be permanent.

Question 4

14/male results/ catecholamine norm?
norepinephrine, supine 136.0 pg/ml 
epinephrine,  <10 pg/ml
dopamine, <10 pg/ml
norepinephrine, stand 457.0 pg/ml
epinephrine,  14.0 pg/ml
dopamine, 16.0 pg/m

Accepted Answer

Norepinephrine is: Elevated with normal Epinephrine and Dopamine  could be from effects of high protein foods, medications or physical activity. Is your dr checking for pheochromocytoma or cause of depression? Give us some feedback!
