metyrapone and Bronchial Neoplasms

metyrapone has been researched along with Bronchial Neoplasms in 10 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.

Bronchial Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the BRONCHI.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Cushing's syndrome due to bronchial carcinoid tumors that secrete adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) may be difficult to distinguish from pituitary Cushing's disease, since the responses to dexamethasone and metyrapone are sometimes similar."7.67Ectopic ACTH syndrome caused by a bronchial carcinoid tumor responsive to dexamethasone, metyrapone, and corticotropin-releasing factor. ( Abboud, C; Carey, RM; Carney, JA; Malchoff, CD; Orth, DN; Pairolero, PC, 1988)
"Cushing's syndrome due to bronchial carcinoid tumors that secrete adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) may be difficult to distinguish from pituitary Cushing's disease, since the responses to dexamethasone and metyrapone are sometimes similar."3.67Ectopic ACTH syndrome caused by a bronchial carcinoid tumor responsive to dexamethasone, metyrapone, and corticotropin-releasing factor. ( Abboud, C; Carey, RM; Carney, JA; Malchoff, CD; Orth, DN; Pairolero, PC, 1988)
" Conservative treatment with metyrapone suppressed the Cushing syndrome."3.66[Successful conservative treatment of bronchial carcinoid with Cushing's syndrome due to ectopic ACTH production]. ( Euler, HH; Herrlinger, JD; Kirmse, L; Kleine, L; Löffler, H; Müller-Hermelink, HK, 1983)
"Why some bronchial carcinoid tumours are responsive is unknown but it could be because of co-secretion of corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) and/or expression of glucocorticoid receptors."1.29Glucocorticoid responsive ACTH secreting bronchial carcinoid tumours contain high concentrations of glucocorticoid receptors.
