1 Nicotine, a major component of tobacco smoke, stimulates catecholamine secretion and activates catecholamine biosynthetic enzymes such as tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) in adrenal medullary cells. Nicotine dopamine beta-hydroxylase Rattus norvegicus
2 We investigated the effect of long term treatment with nicotine on TH and DBH gene expression in rat PC12 pheochromocytoma cells. Nicotine dopamine beta-hydroxylase Rattus norvegicus
3 Nicotine treatment for 1-2 days increased both the TH and DBH mRNA levels. Nicotine dopamine beta-hydroxylase Rattus norvegicus
