metyrapone and Acute Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

metyrapone has been researched along with Acute Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in 13 studies

Metyrapone: An inhibitor of the enzyme STEROID 11-BETA-MONOOXYGENASE. It is used as a test of the feedback hypothalamic-pituitary mechanism in the diagnosis of CUSHING SYNDROME.
metyrapone : An aromatic ketone that is 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one in which the methyl groups at positions 1 and 4 are replaced by pyridin-3-yl groups. A steroid 11beta-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.15.4) inhibitor, it is used in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Relative to controls, women with PTSD had decreased ACTH and delta sleep responses to metyrapone."2.73Effects of metyrapone on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sleep in women with post-traumatic stress disorder. ( Lenoci, M; Marmar, CR; Metzler, T; Neylan, TC; Otte, C; Yehuda, R, 2007)
"Subjects with PTSD had higher raw cortisol and higher normed (baseline-related) ACTH and 11-deoxycortisol values after metyrapone independent of treatment with fludrocortisone or placebo."2.72Mineralocorticoid receptor function in posttraumatic stress disorder after pretreatment with metyrapone. ( Daneshkhah, S; Kellner, M; Kiefer, F; Muhtz, C; Otte, C; Wiedemann, K; Yassouridis, A, 2006)
" Dose-response studies using metyrapone and glucocorticoid agonists are needed to further investigate HPA axis regulation in PTSD."2.71Overnight metyrapone and combined dexamethasone/metyrapone tests in post-traumatic stress disorder: preliminary findings. ( Jahn, H; Kellner, M; Otte, C; Schick, M; Wiedemann, K; Yassouridis, A, 2004)
"Eleven GWV without PTSD, 18 GWV with PTSD and 15 healthy subjects not exposed to the Gulf War theater (non-exposed) underwent the metyrapone stimulation test, which inhibits cortisol synthesis, impairs cortisol-mediated negative feedback inhibition and in turn increases levels of ACTH and 11-deoxycortisol, a cortisol precursor."1.35Pituitary response to metyrapone in Gulf War veterans: relationship to deployment, PTSD and unexplained health symptoms. ( Golier, JA; Schmeidler, J; Yehuda, R, 2009)
"Metyrapone caused an increase in awakenings and a marked decrease in quantitative measures of delta sleep that was significantly greater in controls compared to PTSD."1.32Delta sleep response to metyrapone in post-traumatic stress disorder. ( Lenoci, M; Maglione, ML; Marmar, CR; Metzler, TJ; Neylan, TC; Otte, C; Rosenlicht, NZ; Schoenfeld, FB; Yehuda, R, 2003)
