melatonin and Pheochromocytoma

melatonin has been researched along with Pheochromocytoma in 4 studies

Pheochromocytoma: A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Melatonin treatment significantly reduced the mRNA expression of catecholamine synthases, including the rate-limiting enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (Th), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase and dopamine-β-hydroxylase expressed in PC12 cells."1.46Melatonin regulates catecholamine biosynthesis by modulating bone morphogenetic protein and glucocorticoid actions. ( Hara, T; Hosoya, T; Inagaki, K; Iwata, N; Komatsubara, M; Otsuka, F; Toma, K; Tsukamoto-Yamauchi, N; Wada, J, 2017)
"Melatonin (MLT) has received much attention in recent years due to its direct free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties."1.31Melatonin regulation of antioxidant enzyme gene expression. ( Antoli, I; Herrera, F; Martin, V; Mayo, JC; Rodriguez, C; Sainz, RM, 2002)
