THE phenomenon of tachyphylaxis to sympathomimetic amines has been a classical problem in pharmacology for many years. Burn and Rand have provided indirect evidence showing that certain sympathomimetic amines exert their effects by the liberation of norepinephrine from stores.’Recently, several investigators have shown that after the development of tachyphylaxis the actions of sympathomimetic amines can be restored by the administration of norepinephrine. 2y a We have previously demonstrated that the spontaneous release of~ 3-norepinephrine from the heart is rapid at first and then becomes progressively slower. p This suggests that H3-norepinephrine is taken up by a store with rapid turnover rate and then gradually enters stores with slower turnover. Blaschko and Welch observed that only one-fifth of the pressor amines in the undenatured granule of the adrenal medulla had an immediate physiological effect after its intravenous administration. 5 This communication will provide direct evidence showing two kinds of stores of norepinephrine, one in which it is easily released and another in which it is tightly bound. Tyramine produces tachyphylaxis by depleting the more easily releasable store of norepinephrine.Previous work in this laboratory has shown that tyramine releases H3-norepinephrine from the rat heart.* A significant reduction of endogenous catecholamines in the rat heart was also found after the administration of 10 mg of tyramine per kg (Fig. 1). Tyramine was given repeatedly at 1% min intervals beginning 15 min after the injection of H3-norepinephrine. The hearts were assayed for HQorepinephrine’ and endogenous catecholaminess 60 min after the injection of H3-norepinephrine.
