metyrapone and Diseases of Endocrine System

metyrapone has been researched along with Diseases of Endocrine System in 25 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.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Cushing's syndrome is an uncommon disorder, but one that often presents diagnostic challenges to the managing physician."2.42Dynamic tests in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome. ( Grossman, AB; Morris, DG, 2003)
"Metyrapone test was found to produce a 223% increase in delta 4 levels, a 196% increase in DHA levels, and a decrease of more than 90% in the 11 beta OH delta 4 levels."1.26Simultaneous radioimmunoassay of androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone and 11-beta-hydroxyandrostenedione in plasma.
