flumazenil and Potassium Deficiency

flumazenil has been researched along with Potassium Deficiency in 1 studies

Flumazenil: A potent benzodiazepine receptor antagonist. Since it reverses the sedative and other actions of benzodiazepines, it has been suggested as an antidote to benzodiazepine overdoses.
flumazenil : An organic heterotricyclic compound that is 5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]benzodiazepine which is substituted at positions 3, 5, 6, and 8 by ethoxycarbonyl, methyl, oxo, and fluoro groups, respectively. It is used as an antidote to benzodiazepine overdose.

Potassium Deficiency: A condition due to decreased dietary intake of potassium, as in starvation or failure to administer in intravenous solutions, or to gastrointestinal loss in diarrhea, chronic laxative abuse, vomiting, gastric suction, or bowel diversion. Severe potassium deficiency may produce muscular weakness and lead to paralysis and respiratory failure. Muscular malfunction may result in hypoventilation, paralytic ileus, hypotension, muscle twitches, tetany, and rhabomyolysis. Nephropathy from potassium deficit impairs the concentrating mechanism, producing POLYURIA and decreased maximal urinary concentrating ability with secondary POLYDIPSIA. (Merck Manual, 16th ed)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Our results demonstrate that the potentiation of the inhibitory pathways mediated by opiates and GABA may be implicated in the decrease of sex hormones secretion produced by hypokalemia since treatment with higher doses of naloxone or flumazenil are required to restore progesterone or testosterone levels in potassium deficient mice."3.71Influence of different neural systems on the secretion of sex hormones in potassium deficient mice. ( Cremades, A; Peñafiel, R; Pinilla, L; Tejada, F, 2002)
