Key Points

To evaluate whether noradrenaline inhibits tyrosine hydroxylase expression across distinct subregions of the rat arcuate nucleus during postnatal development.
Assessed adrenoreceptor gene expression profiles in the ventrolateral and dorsomedial arcuate nucleus of intact rats at postnatal days 5 (P5) and 60 (P60).
Measured tyrosine hydroxylase protein synthesis in isolated brain slices from both subregions following 6-hour incubations with noradrenaline alone or in combination with specific adrenoreceptor antagonists.
All adrenoreceptor subtype genes were expressed in both the ventrolateral and dorsomedial arcuate nucleus at P5 and P60, with overall tyrosine hydroxylase synthesis increasing markedly from P5 to P60.
Noradrenaline inhibited tyrosine hydroxylase synthesis selectively in the ventrolateral arcuate nucleus of adult (P60) rats, an effect mediated specifically via α1-adrenoreceptors.
