octopamine and Appetite Disorders

octopamine has been researched along with Appetite Disorders in 2 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The very high prevalence of migraine in our group of ED sufferers and the biochemical profile of migraine, similar to that of ED patients shown in this study, suggest that migraine may constitute a risk factor for the occurrence of ED in young females."1.38Is migraine a risk factor for the occurrence of eating disorders? Prevalence and biochemical evidences. ( Bolner, A; Colavito, D; D'Andrea, G; Leon, A; Ostuzzi, R, 2012)
