racemetirosine and Bulimia Nervosa

racemetirosine has been researched along with Bulimia Nervosa 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)

Bulimia Nervosa: An eating disorder that is characterized by a cycle of binge eating (BULIMIA or bingeing) followed by inappropriate acts (purging) to avert weight gain. Purging methods often include self-induced VOMITING, use of LAXATIVES or DIURETICS, excessive exercise, and FASTING.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"As bulimia nervosa has been associated with a dysregulated dopamine system and catecholamine depletion led to reward-processing deficits in remitted bulimia nervosa, the purpose of this study was to identify the role of catecholamine dysfunction and its relation to behavioral and neural reward-effort integration in bulimia nervosa."1.48Neural Correlates of Impaired Reward-Effort Integration in Remitted Bulimia Nervosa. ( Federspiel, A; Hasler, G; Morishima, Y; Mueller, SV; Schwab, S; Wiest, R, 2018)
