octopamine and Body Weight

octopamine has been researched along with Body Weight in 9 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.

Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"p-Octopamine is considered to be a CNS stimulant in spite of the fact that it binds poorly to adrenergic receptors."2.52Physiological functions and pharmacological and toxicological effects of p-octopamine. ( Stohs, SJ, 2015)
"Octopamine is an important neurotransmitter in insects with multiple functions."1.40Octopamine indirectly affects proboscis extension response habituation in Drosophila melanogaster by controlling sucrose responsiveness. ( Claßen, G; Scheiner, R; Scholz, H; Steinbach, A; Strudthoff, N, 2014)
"Octopamine treatment resulted in a 19% decrease in body weight gain, when compared to the 177 g gained by controls during the same period."1.32Moderate weight-lowering effect of octopamine treatment in obese Zucker rats. ( Bour, S; Carpéné, C; Prévot, D; Visentin, V, 2003)
