[edit] SPAM
I am a grad student in biology at ASU -- just noticed that this page has been spammed. Look at the bottom, there are those pharmaceutical links and huge white space. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS?! I don't know how... I tried going to the history, but couldn't find the right version to revert! PLEASE HELP!?!?

[edit] Pronunciation
Hello, I'm curious as to the english pronunciation of noradrenaline and norepinephrine. Would someone please clue me in? 63.192.52.26 20:20, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
The pronunciation is "noor-ep-eh-nef-rin", listen to it here:

[edit] Norepinephrine or Noradrenaline?
- and which regions are they, then? --Anon
Added text from presumably public domain resource:
from the U.S. Surgeon-General.
If this substance is known as Noradrenaline outside the USA - in most of the world - shouldn't this article be called Noradrenaline instead of Norepinephrine? - Quirk 20:36, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, is there any chance we could rename this site to Noradrenalin(e)?!? Apart from people in the US, nobody uses the term Norephinephrine.

- There is a huge problem with Norepi: Norepi will increase MAP drastically, so it eventually starts a baroreceptor depressor reflex (yes, the depressor center is back from holidays) which starts reflex bradycardia! Therefore it actually decreases the heartrate, lowers venous return after a bit, though you have a high MAP. Consequences are, that you probably let the patient go one step further in his shock level.

- I too dislike the newfangled epinephrine and norepinephrine names, but I believe they were chosen as the main Wikipedia name because they are now the International Nonproprietary Name, as set by the WHO. See [1] for arguments as to why they stink. --JMD (talk • contribs) 04:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I have reverted this renaming of the article from Norepinephrine to Noradrenaline/Norepinephrine. There was no consensus in the above thread for this move, and to the have so WP:Boldly moved was therefore disruptive, especially given the active discussion at Talk:Epinephrine where again there is no consensus to move from the internationally agreed (by the World Health Organisation) International Nonproprietary Name. Finally see WP:MEDMOS "Naming conventions" for generally agreed naming of drugs. David Ruben Talk 00:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, so I broke something. I apparently tried to move the page a few minutes after you did, and now the Norepinephrine page has disappeared. I have to run out for now, so I can't take care of it at the moment. If someone can figure out what's going on or alert wikitech, I'd much appreciate it. Sorry for the trouble. --David Iberri (talk) 00:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think I've successfully restored Norepinephrine. Let me know if there are any other problems. --David Iberri (talk) 00:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image removed by Anon.User 146.82.167.179 -- I wonder why .....
The image that shows the molecular structure of Norepinephrine has been removed by Anon.User 146.82.167.179 today. Does anyone know why ? Was there a problem with the figure ? -- PFHLai 22:03, 2004 Jun 28 (UTC)
- I'm not aware of any problem with Image:Norepinephrine.png, except that the label for the alcohol group on the benzene was a little truncated. The chemistry was fine and the image definitely serves a purpose, so I've reverted. --Diberri | Talk 23:49, Jun 28, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Metabolites
I'm going to have a go at elucidating the biological metabolites of noradrenaline (aka norepinephrine) in this article. Please expand upon this effort. Also, please mod my formatting so that it conforms. I'm afraid I don't have the patience to learn the required minutiae of preferred formatting :P - Adam
- let me guess: You use Strattera yourself? :)
[edit] Naming Problem?
I found a small problem with the authors naming of some of the classes of drugs - both selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and serotonin norepinephrine inhibitors have the acronym SNRI. Can anyone who has the knowledge please fix this in the post? And to the problem of which name it goes by, in all the scientific literature I've come across, its epinephrine - and I'm in Canada. Just take a look at your epi-pens - they're not adreni-pens. - Mike
[edit] Vasopression isn't a word
Maybe this came about as a misunderstanding of the word "vasopressin," which is a hormone that causes vasoconstriciton.
I'm changing it heading to "Vasoconstriction." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.203.126.65 (talk) 01:38, 18 March 2007 (UTC).
