mazindol and Muscle Contraction

mazindol has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 3 studies

Mazindol: Tricyclic anorexigenic agent unrelated to and less toxic than AMPHETAMINE, but with some similar side effects. It inhibits uptake of catecholamines and blocks the binding of cocaine to the dopamine uptake transporter.

Muscle Contraction: A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Side effects attributable to mazindol included decreased appetite (36%), dry mouth (10%), behavioral change (22%), and gastrointestinal symptoms (18%); mazindol dosage was reduced in 43% of patients."2.67Randomized, double-blind trial of mazindol in Duchenne dystrophy. ( Brooke, MH; Fenichel, GM; Florence, J; Griggs, RC; Kaiser, KK; Mandel, S; Mendell, JR; Miller, PJ; Moxley, RT; Schierbecker, J, 1990)
" Mazindol leftwardly shifted the dose-response curve to norepinephrine in a dose-dependent manner; the dose-ratio was 6."1.28Effects of mazindol on the contractions in the rat vas deferens. ( Gomi, Y; Suzuki, N, 1990)
