dihydroxyphenylalanine and Dehydration

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Dehydration in 3 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.

Dehydration: The condition that results from excessive loss of water from a living organism.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"These results suggest that the dehydration-induced activation of tuberohypophyseal DA neurons which is normally seen after 2-3 days of water deprivation can be accelerated if water deprivation is preceeded by injections of hypertonic saline or mannitol."5.26Injection of hypertonic saline or mannitol accelerates the dehydration-induced activation of dopamine synthesis in the neurointermediate lobe of the rat hypophysis. ( Alper, RH; Moore, KE, 1982)
"Severe dehydration (2 days water deprivation followed by 3 days of 2% NaCl substituted for drinking water) increased the concentration of DA in the posterior pituitary but not in the striatum or median eminence."1.26Dehydration selectively increases dopamine synthesis in tuberohypophyseal dopaminergic neurons. ( Alper, RH; Demarest, KT; Moore, KE, 1980)
