pindolol and Aggression

pindolol has been researched along with Aggression in 14 studies

Pindolol: A moderately lipophilic beta blocker (ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS). It is non-cardioselective and has intrinsic sympathomimetic actions, but little membrane-stabilizing activity. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmocopoeia, 30th ed, p638)
pindolol : A member of the class of indols which is the 2-hydroxy-3-(isopropylamino)propyl ether derivative of 1H-indol-4-ol.

Aggression: Behavior which may be manifested by destructive and attacking action which is verbal or physical, by covert attitudes of hostility or by obstructionism.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The hypothesis of this study was that central NE responsivity would predict aggression response to treatment with a NE medication, pindolol."5.11Noradrenergic activity is associated with response to pindolol in aggressive Alzheimer's disease patients. ( Eryavec, G; Herrmann, N; Khan, LR; Lanctôt, KL, 2004)
"Pindolol treatment was associated with significant therapeutic benefits without sedation and without the use-limiting side effects that occur with propranolol."2.66Therapeutic effects of pindolol on behavioral disturbances associated with organic brain disease: a double-blind study. ( Greendyke, RM; Kanter, DR, 1986)
" No change in fighting or Bmax was observed with the chronic administration of d-propranolol (5 mg/kg bid) or metoprolol (10 mg/kg bid)."1.27Increased shock-induced fighting with supersensitive beta-adrenergic receptors. ( Eichelman, B; Hegstrand, LR, 1983)
