TL;DR
Plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline were measured radioenzymatically in twelve hypertensive and four normotensive subjects before and during handgrip and in the exercising arm, plasma adrenaline increased but the mean increase of nor adrenaline of 10% was not significant (P>0 1).
Abstract
1. Plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline were measured radioenzymatically in twelve hypertensive and four normotensive subjects before and during handgrip. In the resting arm (n=11), plasma noradrenaline increased by 17% (P0.1). 2. The noradrenaline response suggests a small and variable sympathetic adrenergic response; the significant difference (P<0.05) in adrenaline responses between resting and exercising arms may reflect local variation in tissue clearance.

Life SciencesSimultaneous single isotope radioenzymatic assay of plasma norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine
1,910 Citations1977Jacob D. Peuler, Garland A. Johnson
Modification of the original single isotope radioenzymatic assay of Passon and Peuler permits the direct and simultaneous analysis of norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine in plasma samples of 50 μl or less.
Life SciencesUse of plasma norepinephrine for evaluation of sympathetic neuronal function in man
549 Citations1976Charles Lake, Michael G. Ziegler +1 more
Levels of norepinephrine in human plasma have been determined by a radioenzymatic technique sufficiently sensitive to measure 0.014 ng NE per ml plasma by evaluating sympathetic neuronal function based on the increments in plasma NE produced by postural change and a standard amount of exertion.
CirculationComparative assessment of stimuli that release neuronal and adrenomedullary catecholamines in man.
467 Citations1979David L. Robertson, George Johnson +4 more
In man, there is frequent dissociation between the effects of different stimuli on neuronal and adrenomedullary catecholamine release, and it is concluded that in man the most potent stimuli for norepinephrine were treadmill exercise, orthostasis, caffeine and handgrip exercise.
The Journal of PhysiologyLocal and central circulatory responses to sustained contractions and the effect of free or restricted arterial inflow on post‐exercise hyperaemia
105 Citations1967A. R. Lind, G. W. McNicol
The cardiovascular responses to sustained contractions at tensions from 5 to 30% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) have been examined and hyperaemia characteristically showed peak flows in excess of any flow measured during contractions.
The Journal of PhysiologyEffect of regional alpha‐ and beta‐adrenergic blockade on blood flow in the resting forearm during contralateral isometric handgrip.
103 Citations1976B Eklund, L. Kaijser
The distribution of the vasodilatation was investigated by analysing O2 saturation in a deep vein, draining mainly muscle tissue, and it was concluded that the rapid decrease in vascular resistance in the resting forearm on contralateral handgrip takes place, to a great extent, in muscle.

The results suggest that the known haemodynamic responses to static effort are related to a powerful activation of the adrenergic system, which may result from a reflex mechanism initiated in the exercising muscles.
NatureDisappearance of Catecholamines from the Circulation
78 Citations1968R. GINN, John R. Vane
Analysis of different tissues, after the injection of radioactive adrenaline or noradrenaline, showed that most unchanged catecholamines were found in the heart, spleen and glandular tissues; skeletal muscle took up the least.

The circulatory responses to sustained handgrip at 30 per cent of a maximum voluntary contraction of the forearm muscles (MVC) were examined in untreated hypertensive patients and two main patterns of circulatory response were observed.

Noradrenaline and adrenaline content increased markedly in all samples, especially in the left renal vein and the coronary sinus, and Adrenaline concentration increased significantly in the brachial artery and the femoral vein.

Three patients with evident left ventricular dysfunction had the highest plasma noradrenaline concentrations, in contrast to the much lower levels in 2 patients on beta-blockers and in 1 patient with a normal heart.

It is concluded that forearm venous plasma noradrenaline concentrations are representative of those from other sites, although the difference was not significant.
