metyrapone and Aging

metyrapone has been researched along with Aging in 27 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.

Aging: The gradual irreversible changes in structure and function of an organism that occur as a result of the passage of time.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Pretreatment with metyrapone inhibited the increase in plasma corticosterone levels induced by the bite-raised condition, and also attenuated the reduction in cell proliferation."1.35Chewing under restraint stress inhibits the stress-induced suppression of cell birth in the dentate gyrus of aged SAMP8 mice. ( Karasawa, N; Kubo, KY; Ono, Y; Onozuka, M; Sasaguri, K; Takahashi, T; Watanabe, K; Yamamoto, T, 2009)
"The metyrapone treatment produced no changes in GAD activity at PN23, but induced an important increase in this activity at PN90."1.34Role of maternal corticosterone in the development and maturation of the aminoacidergic systems of the rat brain. ( Garcia-Montojo, M; González, JC; Lecumberri, M; Leret, ML, 2007)
"Pretreatment with metyrapone, which suppresses the stress-induced rise in plasma corticosterone levels, prevented the molarless condition-induced increase in plasma corticosterone levels, reduction in CA1 pyramidal neuron numbers, and impairment of spatial learning."1.31Evidence for involvement of glucocorticoid response in the hippocampal changes in aged molarless SAMP8 mice. ( Fujita, M; Onozuka, M; Saito, S; Tonosaki, K; Watanabe, K, 2002)
"As phenobarbital treatment in young rats enhanced the symptoms of nephrotoxicity and metyrapone treatment in adult rats decreased the symptoms of nephrotoxicity, age-dependent differences in chromate nephrotoxicity may be linked to an increase in the enzymatic reduction of Cr(VI) with age."1.28Influence of metyrapone and phenobarbital on sodium dichromate nephrotoxicity in developing rats. ( Appenroth, D; Bräunlich, H; Friese, KH; Gambaryan, S, 1990)
