dihydroxyphenylalanine and Hypotension, Orthostatic

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Hypotension, Orthostatic in 38 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.

Hypotension, Orthostatic: A significant drop in BLOOD PRESSURE after assuming a standing position. Orthostatic hypotension is a finding, and defined as a 20-mm Hg decrease in systolic pressure or a 10-mm Hg decrease in diastolic pressure 3 minutes after the person has risen from supine to standing. Symptoms generally include DIZZINESS, blurred vision, and SYNCOPE.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We used PET with the tracers [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), [18F]fluorodopa (FDOPA) and [11C]raclopride (RACLO) to study striatal glucose and dopa metabolism, and dopamine D2 receptor binding, respectively, in nine patients with multiple system atrophy."3.69Complementary PET studies of striatal neuronal function in the differential diagnosis between multiple system atrophy and Parkinson's disease. ( Antonini, A; Günther, I; Leenders, KL; Maguire, RP; Missimer, J; Psylla, M; Vontobel, P, 1997)
"This could be the explantion for the orthostatic hypotension found in patients taking L-dopa for Parkinsonism."2.63Action of dopamine on the human iris. ( Calne, DB; Spiers, AS, 1969)
"In PD, orthostatic hypotension reflects sympathetic noradrenergic denervation."1.32Neurotransmitter specificity of sympathetic denervation in Parkinson's disease. ( Dendi, R; Goldstein, DS; Holmes, C; Li, ST; Sharabi, Y, 2003)
"Patients with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension can have deficits in sympathetic neural function at any of several levels of the sympathetic neuraxis."1.28Patterns of plasma levels of catechols in neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. ( Biaggioni, I; Brown, RT; Garty, M; Goldstein, DS; Kopin, IJ; Polinsky, RJ; Robertson, D; Stull, R, 1989)
" Patients with postencephalitic Parkinsonism may respond as well as patients with Parkinson's disease to levodopa but they develop both favourable responses and side-effects at a lower dosage and require careful dosage adjustments and close surveillance."1.25Response of patients with postencephalitic Parkinsonism to levodopa.
