Abstract Experiments on mice show that primary decrease in the catecholamine content in the adrenals 6 h and 1–2, and 4 days after immobilization stress is followed by catecholamine accumulation in the adrenal medulla. Practically the same dynamics within days 1–4 is observed after administration of a high dose of 5-fluorouracil; however, the restoration of the initial catecholamine level in mice treated with the cytostatic takes more than in stressed animals. These data suggests that high doses of 5-fluorouracil induce nonspecific activation of the sympathoadrenal system, presumably leading to adaptation to cytotoxic effects of 5-fluorouracil.
