	Catecholamines: Test Sample
		Catecholamines are a group of similar hormones produced in the medulla (central portion) of the adrenal glands.
		The primary catecholamines are dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline), and norepinephrine.
		Normally, catecholamines and their metabolites are present in the body in small, fluctuating amounts that only increase appreciably during and shortly after a bout of stress.

	Catecholamine Summary
		Catecholamines are produced by the enzymatic conversion of tyrosine, sharing the chemical root of 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylethanolamine.
		High catecholamine levels in blood are associated with stress, which can be induced from psychological reaction or environmental stressors such as elevated sound levels or intense light.
		Catecholamines have the distinct structure of a benzene ring with two hydroxyl groups, an intermediate ethyl chain and a terminal amine group.

	Catecholamines: The Test
		Catecholamine testing is ordered when a doctor either suspects that a patient has a pheochromocytoma or wants to rule out the possibility.
		Since the catecholamine test is sensitive to many outside influences and pheochromocytomas are rare, a doctor may see more false positives with this test than true positives.
		While plasma and urine catecholamine testing can help detect and diagnose pheochromocytomas, they cannot tell the doctor where the tumor is, whether there is more than one, or whether or not the tumor is benign (although most are).

	Signal Transduction Pathways for Catecholamine Receptors
		However, in addition to these rapid effects, catecholamines exert many other actions on their target neurons that produce short- and long-term modulatory effects on neuronal function (see Figure 1).
		Catecholamine receptors that result in alterations in the cAMP or Ca pathways would be expected to result in altered CREB phosphorylation and altered transcriptional activity (22).
		It is likely that catecholamines influence cell growth, differentiation, and movement (including axoplasmic transport and sprouting of dendrites and axons) in their target cells, although the details of the mechanisms involved remain obscure.

		Thus, there is a high concentration of catecholamines in synaptic vesicles and a relatively low concentration of catecholamines in the cytosol of catecholaminergic cells.
		Almost all of the catecholamine content of a sympathetically innervated tissue is contained in the synaptic vesicles inside the catecholaminergic nerves.
		The low concentration of catecholamines in the cytosol of catecholaminergic nerves is maintained in part by the vesicular amine uptake pump and in part by the mitochondrial enzyme, monoamine oxidase (MAO).

	What is the best diagnostic approach when pheochromocytoma is suspected?
		Taken individually, plasma catecholamine and total urinary meta-nephrine assays have a false-negative rate of 7%, urinary norepinephrine and epinephrine assays a rate of 14%, and the urinary vanillyl-mandelic acid assay a rate of 41%.
		Patients with plasma catecholamine levels between 1,000 and 2,000 pg/mL and urinary metanephrine levels between 1.3 and 1.8 mg/24 hours may have neurogenically mediated catecholamine release and will require a suppression test (eg, with oral clonidine).
		Patients who are highly suspected of having pheochromocytoma and who have plasma catecholamine levels of 1,000 pg/mL or less and urinary metanephrine levels of 1.3 mg/24 hours or less require a provocative test (eg, with glucagon injection).

		The deaminated aldehyde metabolites of catecholamines are short-lived
		To maintain vesicular stores of catecholamines constant, the rate of catecholamine turnover (i.e., loss of catecholamine due to metabolism or escape to the bloodstream) must be balanced by an equal rate of synthesis.
		The sympathoneuronal pathway (white) is the major pathway of catecholamine metabolism and involves intraneuronal deamination of norepinephrine leaking from storage granules or of norepinephrine recaptured after release by sympathetic nerves.
