Secretion of dopa in phaeochromocytoma.

In a series of 11 cases with phaeochromocytoma, two patients were found in whom the tumour secreted dopa in addition to dopamine, noradrenaline, and adrenaline. These two patients were normotensive in spite of high plasma and urinary levels of noradrenaline and adrenaline. This raises the possibility that dopa may be able to protect against the hypertensive action of noradrenaline. Such a mechanism would also explain the absence of hypertension in many cases of neuroblastoma.

Raised serum IgG levels in hypertension.

Serum IgG levels were significantly higher in 118 severely hypertensive patients compared with a group of 163 normotensive blood donors, matched for age and sex. Serum IgA and IgM were the same in both groups. Raised levels of serum IgG were found in patients who had never been treated for hypertension, as well as in those who were treated with methyldopa or other hypotensive drugs.It is suggested that the raised levels of serum IgG may be an index of vascular damage induced by hypertension.
