dihydroxyphenylalanine and Anesthesia

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Anesthesia in 12 studies

Dihydroxyphenylalanine: A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.
dopa : A hydroxyphenylalanine carrying hydroxy substituents at positions 3 and 4 of the benzene ring.

Anesthesia: A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" We measured arterial and venous plasma DOPA concentrations in healthy subjects at rest, patients who had undergone regional sympathectomies or were undergoing general anesthesia, and subjects during procedures (tilt, oral clonidine, or iv isoproterenol, yohimbine, trimethaphan, or diazepam) known to affect plasma norepinephrine levels."3.67Neuronal source of plasma dihydroxyphenylalanine. ( Eisenhofer, G; Goldstein, DS; Keiser, HR; Kopin, IJ; Stull, R; Udelsman, R, 1987)
"Intraperitoneal injection of diazepam in moderate dosage (1--10mg/kg) to rats caused a decrease in dopa and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) formation, measured as the accumulation of these intermediates induced by inhibition of the aromatic L-aminoacid decarboxylase by means of NSD 1015 (3-hydroxybenzylhydrazine (HCl), in limbic forebrain, striatum and the remaining hemisphere portion."1.26On the mode of action of diazepam on brain catecholamine metabolism.

Safety of 18F-DOPA PET/CT Scan - Number of Participants With Adverse Events

"To further evaluate the safety of 18-labeled L-fluorodeoxyphenylalanine (18F-DOPA) PET/CT imaging in infants and children with congenital hyperinsulinism~- subjects are monitored clinically for any signs or symptoms of adverse events for 72 hours post PET. Adverse events are documented and followed to resolution" (NCT01468454)
