dihydroxyphenylalanine and Mydriasis

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Mydriasis in 1 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.

Mydriasis: Dilation of pupils to greater than 6 mm combined with failure of the pupils to constrict when stimulated with light. This condition may occur due to injury of the pupillary fibers in the oculomotor nerve, in acute angle-closure glaucoma, and in ADIE SYNDROME.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The specific binding of the agonist, [3H]UK 14304, and of the antagonist, [3H]RX 821002, to rat brain membranes, as well as clonidine-induced mydriasis, clonidine-induced inhibition and idazoxan-induced stimulation of brain 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) synthesis, and clonidine and UK 14304-induced inhibition of twitch responses in the vas deferens were used to evaluate the affinity and sensitivity of central and peripheral alpha 2-adrenoceptors after various treatments with reserpine."3.68Acute and chronic effects of reserpine on biochemical and functional parameters of central and peripheral alpha 2-adrenoceptors.
