octopamine and Cirrhosis, Liver

octopamine has been researched along with Cirrhosis, Liver in 15 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
"It has been recently proposed that hepatic encephalopathy could be due to the accumulation of octopamine acting as a false neurotransmitter, and the increase of ammonia might reflect this accumulation."7.65Octopamine and ammonia plasma levels in hepatic encephalopathy. ( Angelico, M; Attili, AF; Cangiano, C; Capocaccia, L; Cascino, A; Rossi Fanelli, F, 1977)
" Plasma concentrations of amino acids, octopamine, and ammonia were assayed in order to document the metabolic change of hepatic encephalopathy."3.67Visual evoked potential: a diagnostic tool for the assessment of hepatic encephalopathy. ( Gollini, G; Messori, E; Penne, A; Pinelli, G; Ventura, E; Zani, G; Zeneroli, ML, 1984)
"Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is currently felt to be secondary to a disturbance in the metabolism of cerebral catecholamines with a decline in dopamine and noradrenaline and a rise in the false neurotransmitter octopamine."3.66Changes in brain catecholamine levels in human cirrhotic hepatic encephalopathy. ( Cadilhac, J; Cuilleret, G; Michel, H; Pomier-Layrargues, G; Pons, F, 1980)
"It has been recently proposed that hepatic encephalopathy could be due to the accumulation of octopamine acting as a false neurotransmitter, and the increase of ammonia might reflect this accumulation."3.65Octopamine and ammonia plasma levels in hepatic encephalopathy. ( Angelico, M; Attili, AF; Cangiano, C; Capocaccia, L; Cascino, A; Rossi Fanelli, F, 1977)
"To evaluate the role of tyramine in hepatic disorders, we used a radioimmunoassay to study plasma concentration of tyramine in eight healthy subjects, 20 hospitalized patients without liver disease, and 13 cirrhotic patients of whom seven had hepatic encephalopathy."3.65Hypertyraminemia in cirrhotic patients. ( Bowen, PA; Faraj, BA; Isaacs, JW; Rudman, D, 1976)
