metyrapone and Delayed Effects, Prenatal Exposure

metyrapone has been researched along with Delayed Effects, Prenatal Exposure in 12 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
" Maternal treatment with dexamethasone on day 15 of pregnancy mimicked the stress effect and reproduced the AI and AHR outcomes, whereas blockade of the stress-induced corticosterone surge with metyrapone pretreatment of pregnant mice abrogated the effect."3.80Maternal stress during pregnancy increases neonatal allergy susceptibility: role of glucocorticoids. ( Fedulov, AV; Kobzik, L; Lim, R, 2014)
"To determine whether prenatal dietary protein deprivation results in a reduction in nephron number and hypertension in offspring by exposure to maternal glucocorticoids, we administered metyrapone to rats fed either a 6% or 20% protein diet to inhibit glucocorticoid production and compared the offspring to rats that were the product of mothers fed either a 6% or 20% protein diet during the last half of pregnancy."3.77Evidence that prenatal programming of hypertension by dietary protein deprivation is mediated by fetal glucocorticoid exposure. ( Baum, M; Gattineni, J; Habib, S; Twombley, K, 2011)
"Maternal food restriction (MFR) causes intrauterine growth restriction, a known risk factor for developing chronic lung disease."1.42Metyrapone alleviates deleterious effects of maternal food restriction on lung development and growth of rat offspring. ( Khorram, O; Li, Y; Paek, DS; Rehan, VK; Sakurai, R; Saraswat, A; Torday, JS, 2015)
