octopamine and Aging

octopamine has been researched along with Aging in 20 studies

Octopamine: An alpha-adrenergic sympathomimetic amine, biosynthesized from tyramine in the CNS and platelets and also in invertebrate nervous systems. It is used to treat hypotension and as a cardiotonic. The natural D(-) form is more potent than the L(+) form in producing cardiovascular adrenergic responses. It is also a neurotransmitter in some invertebrates.
octopamine : A member of the class of phenylethanolamines that is phenol which is substituted at the para- position by a 2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl group. A biogenic phenylethanolamine which has been found to act as a neurotransmitter, neurohormone or neuromodulator in invertebrates.

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
"The biogenic amine neurochemical octopamine is involved in the onset of foraging behaviour in honey bees."7.71Octopamine modulates responsiveness to foraging-related stimuli in honey bees (Apis mellifera). ( Barron, AB; Robinson, GE; Schulz, DJ, 2002)
" Do the changes in brain related to aging also differentially affect these two groups of molecules? In order to check this point, the brain levels of p- and m-octopamine, p-tyramine, noradrenaline, and dopamine, as well as the activities of metabolizing enzymes, were determined in young adult and aging rats (20-26 months)."7.67Effects of aging on p- and m-octopamine, catecholamines, and their metabolizing enzymes in the rat. ( Cavoy, A; Coulon, JF; David, JC; Delacour, J, 1989)
"Octopamine was not required for starvation-induced changes in feeding behaviors, suggesting independent regulations of energy intake behaviors upon starvation."5.42Octopamine mediates starvation-induced hyperactivity in adult Drosophila. ( Qi, W; Tian, Y; Wang, L; Yang, Z; Yu, Y; Zhang, V, 2015)
" Since the onset of foraging is caused, in part, by increasing juvenile hormone blood titers and brain octopamine levels, we investigated the effects of octopamine and methoprene (a juvenile hormone analog) on Kr-h1 expression."3.74Endocrine modulation of a pheromone-responsive gene in the honey bee brain. ( Grozinger, CM; Robinson, GE, 2007)
"The biogenic amine neurochemical octopamine is involved in the onset of foraging behaviour in honey bees."3.71Octopamine modulates responsiveness to foraging-related stimuli in honey bees (Apis mellifera). ( Barron, AB; Robinson, GE; Schulz, DJ, 2002)
" To test the hypothesis that octopamine influences honey bee division of labor we treated bees orally with octopamine or its immediate precursor tyramine and determined whether these treatments increased the probability of initiating foraging."3.71Octopamine influences division of labor in honey bee colonies. ( Robinson, GE; Schulz, DJ, 2001)
" Do the changes in brain related to aging also differentially affect these two groups of molecules? In order to check this point, the brain levels of p- and m-octopamine, p-tyramine, noradrenaline, and dopamine, as well as the activities of metabolizing enzymes, were determined in young adult and aging rats (20-26 months)."3.67Effects of aging on p- and m-octopamine, catecholamines, and their metabolizing enzymes in the rat.

"Octopamine was not required for starvation-induced changes in feeding behaviors, suggesting independent regulations of energy intake behaviors upon starvation."1.42Octopamine mediates starvation-induced hyperactivity in adult Drosophila. ( Qi, W; Tian, Y; Wang, L; Yang, Z; Yu, Y; Zhang, V, 2015)
"Octopaminergic neurons were recognized using a highly specific antiserum raised against OA."1.31Distribution and development of dopamine- and octopamine-synthesizing neurons in the medicinal leech. ( Crisp, KM; Gilchrist, LS; Klukas, KA; Mesce, KA; Nartey, AJ, 2002)
"Octopamine levels were significantly lower in normal-age nurses versus precocious foragers and overage nurses versus normal-age foragers, but not different in reverted nurses versus reversion colony foragers."1.30Biogenic amines and division of labor in honey bee colonies. ( Kuehn, JC; Robinson, GE; Schulz, DJ; Wagener-Hulme, C, 1999)
