racemetirosine and Depression

racemetirosine has been researched along with Depression in 7 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: Depressive states usually of moderate intensity in contrast with MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER present in neurotic and psychotic disorders.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Caffeine-treated adolescent male rats were exposed to caffeine (0."1.56Pharmacological depletion of serotonin and norepinephrine with para-chlorophenylalanine and alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine reverses the antidepressant-like effects of adolescent caffeine exposure in the male rat. ( Abdulzahir, A; Hwang, K; Sanford, J; Turgeon, SM, 2020)
" The dose-response relationship shifted to the left following REMs deprivation (ED50 values in the group-housed, isolated, and REMs-deprived mice were 250, 200, and 27 micrograms/kg, respectively)."1.29Monoamine depletion attenuates the REM sleep deprivation-induced increase in clonidine response in the forced swimming test. ( Asakura, W; Matsumoto, K; Ohta, H; Watanabe, H, 1994)
