Post synaptic neuron
Norepinephrine is
synthesized from tyrosine
and stored in presynaptic
vesicles.

Postsynaptic Neuron
Diffusion
Blood-Brain Barrier
Pargyline is transported in
the neurons by the
noradenaline reuptake
transporter.
Pargylinee inhibits the
amine oxidase B. This
results in the decrease of
the metabolism of
norepinephrine.
The inhibition of this
enzyme will increase the
concentration in
norepinephrine in the
cytosol of the presynaptic
neuron.
Lower blood pressure
Norepinephrine activates
postsynaptic adrenergic
receptors alpha-2 which are
responsible for lowering the
blood pressure in the
sympathetic tone (in the
local and regional blood
network). This activation
also decreases the levels of
noradrenaline in the blood.
