prazosin and Hypothyroidism

prazosin has been researched along with Hypothyroidism in 15 studies

Prazosin: A selective adrenergic alpha-1 antagonist used in the treatment of HEART FAILURE; HYPERTENSION; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; RAYNAUD DISEASE; PROSTATIC HYPERTROPHY; and URINARY RETENTION.
prazosin : A member of the class of piperazines that is piperazine substituted by a furan-2-ylcarbonyl group and a 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl group at positions 1 and 4 respectively.

Hypothyroidism: A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.

" The effect of artificial hypothyroidism (induced by feeding 6-propyl-2-thiouracil, PTU) and hyperthyroidism (induced by daily injections of triiodothyronine, T3) on myocardial adrenoceptor binding, catecholamines, some physiological responses, and their interdependence was examined."3.67Thyroid-dependent alterations of myocardial adrenoceptors and adrenoceptor-mediated responses in the rat. ( Gross, G; Lues, I, 1985)
"[3H]Prazosin binding was typical of an alpha 1-adrenergic receptor, and (-)epinephrine affinity for the [3H]prazosin-binding sites was not altered in the presence of 10(-5) M guanylyl-imidodiphosphate."1.27Normal ontogeny of alpha 1-adrenergic receptor in rat liver is thyroid hormone dependent. ( Noguchi, A, 1983)
"Prazosin (1 microM) was used to define nonspecific binding of [3H]DHE."1.27Alpha 1-adrenoreceptors and alpha 1-adrenoreceptor-mediated thyrotropin release in cultures of euthyroid and hypothyroid rat anterior pituitary cells. ( Dieguez, C; Foord, SM; Hall, R; Peters, JR; Scanlon, MF, 1985)
"Acquired hypothyroidism is also associated with a decreased density of alpha 1- and beta-adrenergic receptors in rat myocardium."1.26Ontogeny of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in the rat myocardium: effects of hypothyroidism. ( Noguchi, A; Whitsett, JA, 1982)
