The state of the sympathetic-adrenal system in adolescents

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the function and reserve potentials of the sympathoadrenal system of obese youths. Urinary excretion of adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, and DOPA during 24 h before and after oral L- DOPA test was measured. Increased noradrenaline (p < 0.05) and decreased dopamine (p < 0.05) excretion was detected in youths with abdominal obesity in comparison with controls. This level of catecholamines did not depend on the degree of total obesity. The levels of basal hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in obese youths did not correlate with the severity of total obesity. No catecholamine reaction to L-DOPA test in youths with abdominal obesity suggest a decreased synthetic and reserve potential of the sympathoadrenal system under conditions of its stressed functioning.
