3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and Pituitary Neoplasms

3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid has been researched along with Pituitary Neoplasms in 3 studies

3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic Acid: A deaminated metabolite of LEVODOPA.
(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid : A dihydroxyphenylacetic acid having the two hydroxy substituents located at the 3- and 4-positions. It is a metabolite of dopamine.
dihydroxyphenylacetic acid : A dihydroxy monocarboxylic acid consisting of phenylacetic acid having two phenolic hydroxy substituents.

Pituitary Neoplasms: Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

"The majority of pituitary adenomas are prolactin (PRL)-secreting, but it is still uncertain whether their pathogenesis results from a central nervous system (CNS) disturbance or autonomous lactotroph growth and function."1.27Decreased tuberoinfundibular and pituitary dopamine and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid concentrations in rats with estrogen-induced pituitary tumors.
