aminoglutethimide and Hypertension

aminoglutethimide has been researched along with Hypertension in 14 studies

Aminoglutethimide: An aromatase inhibitor that is used in the treatment of advanced BREAST CANCER.
aminoglutethimide : A dicarboximide that is a six-membered cyclic compound having ethyl and 4-aminophenyl substituents at the 3-position.

Hypertension: Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"An inhibitor of adrenal steroid biosynthesis, aminoglutethimide, was administered to seven patients with low renin essential hypertension, and the antihypertensive action of the drug was compared with its effects on adrenal steroid production."7.66Effect of aminoglutethimide on blood pressure and steroid secretion in patients with low renin essential hypertension. ( Bartter, FC; Franklin, RB; Gill, JR; McMurtry, RJ; Mitchell, JR; Snodgrass, WR; Taylor, AA, 1978)
" Blood pressure was normal during treatment with spironolactone and during pregnancy, when the action of aldosterone and other similar steroids was presumably blocked by an increased production of progesterone; this suggests that the hypertension is dependent upon sodium-retaining steroids such as aldosterone."3.66Overproduction of sodium-retaining steroids by the zona glomerulosa is adrenocorticotropin-dependent and mediates hypertension in dexamethasone-suppressible aldosteronism. ( Bartter, FC; Gill, JR, 1981)
"An inhibitor of adrenal steroid biosynthesis, aminoglutethimide, was administered to seven patients with low renin essential hypertension, and the antihypertensive action of the drug was compared with its effects on adrenal steroid production."3.66Effect of aminoglutethimide on blood pressure and steroid secretion in patients with low renin essential hypertension. ( Bartter, FC; Franklin, RB; Gill, JR; McMurtry, RJ; Mitchell, JR; Snodgrass, WR; Taylor, AA, 1978)
"The blood pressure elevation of primary aldosteronism is caused by excessive production of the known mineralocorticoid, aldosterone."2.64Are there unknown mineralocorticoids in low-renin essential hypertension? ( Hollifield, JW; Island, DP; Liddle, GW; Sennett, JA; Slaton, PE; Wilson, HM; Yarbro, L, 1977)
"Two case reports are described, both breast carcinoma patients with metastatic disease."1.27A call for caution in the use of aminoglutethimide: negative interactions with dexamethasone and beta blocker treatment. ( Baerwald, H; Catane, R; Halpern, J, 1984)
"The hypothesis that hyperaldosteronism is not the sole cause of hypertension in dexamethasone-suppressible hyperaldosteronsim was tested in an 18-year-old male."1.26Evidence for an unidentified ACTH-induced steroid hormone causing hypertension. ( Levine, LS; New, MI; Peterson, RE; Saenger, P, 1976)
