Abstract
THE origin of normally occurring catecholamines in the skin1 is unknown. Possibilities for uptake in the skin of circulating amines2 as well as a local synthesis in that tissue3,4 seem to exist. Furthermore, enzymatic breakdown in vitro of noradrenaline in the skin has recently been demonstrated5. In view of the well-known vasoactive properties of noradrenaline, it was thought of interest to study its uptake and metabolism in relation to the vascular reactions of inflamed skin.
