Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Dona Lee Wong"
- Dona Lee Wong's recent research focuses on the effects of stress and catecholamines, particularly the role of epinephrine in both acute and chronic stress responses, and its implications for health across various systems, including cardiovascular and immune functions.
- Wong's studies have explored gene regulation mechanisms, such as the role of phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) in epinephrine biosynthesis and how hormonal and neural control impact these processes during stress.
- Key findings highlight the involvement of stress-regulated pathways and hormones in the pathophysiology of multiple diseases, shedding light on potential therapeutic targets for conditions exacerbated by stress, including psychiatric disorders and immune dysfunction.
