racemetirosine and Anorexia

racemetirosine has been researched along with Anorexia in 4 studies

alpha-Methyltyrosine: An inhibitor of the enzyme TYROSINE 3-MONOOXYGENASE, and consequently of the synthesis of catecholamines. It is used to control the symptoms of excessive sympathetic stimulation in patients with PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA. (Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed)

Anorexia: The lack or loss of APPETITE accompanied by an aversion to food and the inability to eat. It is the defining characteristic of the disorder ANOREXIA NERVOSA.

"Repeated treatment with amphetamine (AMPH), an anorectic agent, induced a marked anorexia on day 1 followed by a gradual reversion of this anorexia to the normal level of feeding (tolerant anorexia)."3.71Role of cerebral dopamine but not plasma insulin, leptin and glucocorticoid in the development of tolerance to the anorectic effect of amphetamine. ( Cheng, JT; Kuo, DY, 2002)
" Exaggerated anorexia was also observed after DA blockade by haloperidol or alpha-adrenergic blockade by phenoxybenzamine."3.65Supersensitivity to norepinephrine or dopamine antagonists after knife cuts that produce aphagia and adipsia in rats.
