Norepinephrine metabolism and nuclear RNA (nRNA) synthesis in the rat brain are found to be conjugated. Under the effect of preparations inducing a disturbance in the norepinephrine (sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and reserpine) its content in the brain tissue lowers and the nRNA synthesis intensity decreases. Accumulation on total resources of norepinephrine in the brain under the effect of ipraside or its synaptic form (melipramine, Lu-5) intensifies the nRNA synthesis.
