clonidine and Hyperplasia

clonidine has been researched along with Hyperplasia in 4 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

Hyperplasia: An increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ without tumor formation. It differs from HYPERTROPHY, which is an increase in bulk without an increase in the number of cells.

"3 mg oral dose of clonidine hydrochloride (Catapres) was given to twelve patients with varying evidence of familial adrenal medullary hyperplasia and pheochromocytomas from kindreds with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 syndrome (MEN-2), seven patients with sporadic pheochromocytomas and six normal subjects."3.67Clonidine-induced suppression of plasma catecholamines in states of adrenal medulla hyperfunction. ( Gross, MD; Shapiro, B; Sisson, JC; Zweifler, A, 1987)
"A case or primary hyperaldosteronism due to unilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia is presented."2.38[Primary hyperaldosteronism caused by unilateral macronodular hyperplasia]. ( Bernardin, M; Chapuis, Y; Dorey, F; Fouchard, J; Louvel, A; Luton, JP, 1989)
"Clonidine-induced increase in basal cortisol levels was blocked by the ADRA2A antagonist yohimbine."1.36Systematic analysis of G protein-coupled receptor gene expression in adrenocorticotropin-independent macronodular adrenocortical hyperplasia identifies novel targets for pharmacological control of adrenal Cushing's syndrome.
