Protein synthesis-regulating receptors (D) for steroids, thyroid hormone, and retinoic acid are found in the cytosol and in the cell nucleus, respectively. Binding of hormone exposes a normally hidden domain of the receptor protein, thereby permitting the latter to bind to a particular nucleotide sequence on a gene and to regulate its transcription.
The liver is richly endowed with COMT and MAO; it therefore contributes significantly to the degradation of circulating norepinephrine and epinephrine. The end product of the combined actions of MAO and COMT is vanillylmandelic acid. Adrenoceptors fall into three major groups, designated ?1, ?2, and ?, within each of which further subtypes can be distinguished pharmacologically.

 

The adrenal cortex (AC) produces the glucocorticoid cortisol (hydrocortisone) and the mineralocorticoid aldosterone. Both steroid hormones are vitally important in adaptation responses to stress situations, such as disease, trauma, or surgery. Cortisol secretion is stimulated by hypophyseal ACTH, aldosterone secretion by angiotensin II in particular.
As a rule, there is prodromal salivation or yawning. Coordination between these different stages depends on the medullary center for emesis, which can be activated by diverse stimuli. These are conveyed via the vestibular apparatus, visual, olfactory, and gustatory inputs, as well as viscerosensory afferents from the upper alimentary tract.
