racemetirosine and Depression, Involutional

racemetirosine has been researched along with Depression, Involutional in 6 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)

Depression, Involutional: Form of depression in those MIDDLE AGE with feelings of ANXIETY.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The pathophysiologic mechanism of major depressive disorder (MDD) has been consistently associated with altered catecholaminergic function, especially with decreased dopamine neurotransmission, by various sources of largely indirect evidence."2.73Neural response to catecholamine depletion in unmedicated subjects with major depressive disorder in remission and healthy subjects.
