Tyramine is an indirect sympathomimetic. "These indirect agents may have either of two different mechanisms: (1) they may displace stored catecholamines from the adrenergic nerve ending (eg, the mechanism of action of tyramine)..."
I don't understand. It's not as simple as cramming stuff onto a shelf, and having the ends fall off. How is displacement of catecholamines done? And why does it cause NE release?
Thanks!
