5-methoxytryptamine and Atrophy

5-methoxytryptamine has been researched along with Atrophy in 4 studies

5-Methoxytryptamine: Serotonin derivative proposed as potentiator for hypnotics and sedatives.
5-methoxytryptamine : A member of the class of tryptamines that is the methyl ether derivative of serotonin.

Atrophy: Decrease in the size of a cell, tissue, organ, or multiple organs, associated with a variety of pathological conditions such as abnormal cellular changes, ischemia, malnutrition, or hormonal changes.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Daily injections of 10 micrograms melatonin in the late afternoon into male golden hamsters kept under a long photoperiod (14 h light: 10 h darkness) and at low ambient temperature 6 +/- 1 degrees C) induced a complete gonadal atrophy after 4 weeks."3.67Failure of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-5-methoxytryptamine (a putative melatonin antagonist) and of N-(3,5-dinitrophenyl)-5-methoxytryptamine to prevent the effects of injections of melatonin in the late afternoon on testicular activity of the golden hamster. ( Chantegrel, J; Claustrat, B; Luu-Duc, C; Marsura, A; Masson-Pévet, M; Pévet, P, 1989)
"Radioimmunoassay and high performance liquid chromatography were used to determine if the gonadal atrophy induced by late afternoon injections of 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MT) in golden hamsters kept under long photoperiod could be due to the acetylation of this compound into melatonin."3.67The effect of 5-methoxytryptamine on golden hamster gonads is not a consequence of its acetylation into melatonin. ( Masson-Pévet, M; Miguel, JL; Pévet, P; Raynaud, F; Vivien-Roels, B, 1989)
