Abstract
Indirect evidences in reviews and case reports on Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) support the fact that the existence of oxidative stress (OS) might be its common feature in the pre-acute stage. The sources of OS are exogenous (environmental factors including pharmacological and toxic influences) and endogenous, the combination of both may be present, and they are being discussed in detail. OS is associated with several pathological conditions representing TTS comorbidities and triggers. The dominant source of OS electrones are mitochondria. Our analysis of drug therapy related to acute TTS shows many interactions, e.g., cytostatics and glucocorticoids with mitochondrial cytochrome P450 and other enzymes important for OS. One of the most frequently discussed mechanisms in TTS is the effect of catecholamines on myocardium. Yet, their metabolic influence is neglected. OS is associated with the oxidation of catecholamines leading to the synthesis of their oxidized forms - aminochromes. Under pathological conditions, this pathway may dominate. There are evidences of interference between OS, catecholamine/aminochrome effects, their metabolism and antioxidant protection. The OS offensive may cause fast depletion of antioxidant protection including the homocystein-methionine system, whose activity decreases with age. The alteration of effector subcellular structures (mitochondria, sarco/endoplasmic reticulum) and subsequent changes in cellular energetics and calcium turnover may also occur and lead to the disruption of cellular function, including neurons and cardiomyocytes. On the organ level (nervous system and heart), neurocardiogenic stunning may occur. The effects of OS correspond to the effect of high doses of catecholamines in the experiment. Intensive OS might represent "conditio sine qua non" for this acute clinical condition. TTS might be significantly more complex pathology than currently perceived so far.

Abstract
The first part of the present review deals with the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of adrenochrome and other aminochromes from the corresponding catecholamines. A description of the most significant pathways of formation and the reactivity of the aminochromes is presented. In the second part of the toxicity of aminochromes, mainly at the cardiac and CNS level, is described and some of the molecular mechanisms of the toxic action are outlined. The toxicity of the aminochromes appears to depend mainly on the production of reduced oxygen species through redox cycling. The interaction of aminochromes with sulfhydryl groups and the induced depletion of oxygen, ascorbate and glutathione are additional mechanisms resulting in noxious effects at a cellular level.

Involvement of superoxide radicals on adrenochrome formation stimulated by arachidonic acid in bovine heart sarcolemmal vesicles. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA 1985; 838:355-60.

Abstract
Highly purified sarcolemmal membranes prepared from bovine heart muscle produced superoxide radicals, especially when incubated with NADPH or NADH, as revealed by the oxidation of adrenaline to adrenochrome. The reaction was inhibited by superoxide dismutase or by heat denaturation of the sarcolemmal vesicles. Less evident was the inhibitory effect shown by catalase, while mannitol, deferoxamine or dicumarol were uneffective. The formation of adrenochrome was an oxygen-dependent reaction with a Km for adrenaline of 8-10 microM. Moreover, the reaction was inhibited by preincubating the sarcolemmal membranes with propranolol, while the alpha-antagonist phentolamine was without effect. Adrenaline oxidation was unaffected by the presence of exogenous linolenic acid or methylarachidonic acid, while arachidonic acid, with a Km for this reaction of 175 microM, showed a marked stimulatory effect. This activation was suppressed by superoxide dismutase, catalase and NaCN, while mannitol was without effect. Moreover, the reaction was blocked by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin, differently from the lipooxygenase inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid. Also, the incubation of the sarcolemmal vesicles with phospholipase A2 and calcium produced a stimulation of adrenochrome formation which was partially suppressed by albumin. In the experiments using arachidonic acid or phospholipase A2, the addition of indomethacin blocked the adrenaline oxidation. These results indicate that arachidonic acid accentuated the heart sarcolemmal adrenochrome formation presumably by participating in the cyclooxygenase reaction.
