5-hydroxytryptophan and Hyperprolactinemia

5-hydroxytryptophan has been researched along with Hyperprolactinemia in 1 studies

5-Hydroxytryptophan: The immediate precursor in the biosynthesis of SEROTONIN from tryptophan. It is used as an antiepileptic and antidepressant.
5-hydroxytryptophan : A tryptophan derivative that is tryptophan substituted by a hydroxy group at position 5.

Hyperprolactinemia: Increased levels of PROLACTIN in the BLOOD, which may be associated with AMENORRHEA and GALACTORRHEA. Relatively common etiologies include PROLACTINOMA, medication effect, KIDNEY FAILURE, granulomatous diseases of the PITUITARY GLAND, and disorders which interfere with the hypothalamic inhibition of prolactin release. Ectopic (non-pituitary) production of prolactin may also occur. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch36, pp77-8)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects of the acute injection of a rabbit anti-substance P serum (ASPS) were studied in normal rats and rats with hyperprolactinemia induced by 5-hydroxytryptophan and estradiol given as a short or chronic treatment."3.67Effect of an anti-substance P serum on prolactin and gonadotropins in hyperprolactinemic rats. ( Debeljuk, L; Díaz, MC; Duvilanski, BH; Horvath, J; Lasaga, M; Seilicovich, A, 1987)
" On the other hand, the injection of ASPS induced a significant decrease in LH levels in serum of intact male rats injected with 5-hydroxytryptophan 24 h after ASPS, and in castrated rats treated with short-term and chronic administration of estradiol, 24 h after the injection of the antiserum."1.27Effect of an anti-substance P serum on prolactin and gonadotropins in hyperprolactinemic rats. ( Debeljuk, L; Díaz, MC; Duvilanski, BH; Horvath, J; Lasaga, M; Seilicovich, A, 1987)
