phenoxybenzamine and Dysautonomia, Familial

phenoxybenzamine has been researched along with Dysautonomia, Familial in 1 studies

Phenoxybenzamine: An alpha-adrenergic antagonist with long duration of action. It has been used to treat hypertension and as a peripheral vasodilator.

Dysautonomia, Familial: An autosomal disorder of the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems limited to individuals of Ashkenazic Jewish descent. Clinical manifestations are present at birth and include diminished lacrimation, defective thermoregulation, orthostatic hypotension (HYPOTENSION, ORTHOSTATIC), fixed pupils, excessive SWEATING, loss of pain and temperature sensation, and absent reflexes. Pathologic features include reduced numbers of small diameter peripheral nerve fibers and autonomic ganglion neurons. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1348; Nat Genet 1993;4(2):160-4)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In contrast to the sustained stimulation of ventilation produced by hypoxia in normal subjects, hypoxia either did not change, or decreased, the [unk]V(E)-P(ACo2) slope of dysautonomic patients and phenoxybenzamine-treated goats; CO(2)-free hypoxia produced a fleeting hyperventilation, which was followed by apnea when hypoxia was abruptly relieved."3.65The effects of abnormal sympathetic nervous function upon the ventilatory response to hypoxia. ( Cherniack, NS; Edelman, NH; Fishman, AP; Lahiri, S; Richards, E, 1970)
