racemetirosine and Pregnancy

racemetirosine has been researched along with Pregnancy in 36 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)

Pregnancy: The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Dopamine (DA) neurons participate in tonic inhibition of prolactin (PRL), whereas beta-endorphin (beta-End) and serotonin (5-HT) neurons appear to be important stimulatory links for nocturnal PRL surges that occur throughout the first half of pregnancy in the rat."3.68Mechanisms for the stimulatory effects of opioidergic and serotonergic input signals on prolactin in pregnant rats. ( Sagrillo, CA; Voogt, JL, 1992)
"Metastatic pheochromocytoma, a rare complication of pregnancy, was managed from 30 weeks' gestation until delivery three weeks later with a combination of alpha-adrenergic blockade (Minipres) beta-adrenergic blockade (Timolol), and dopamine synthesis inhibition (Demser)."3.67Metastatic pheochromocytoma in pregnancy and fetal biophysical assessment after maternal administration of alpha-adrenergic, beta-adrenergic, and dopamine antagonists. ( Castillo, RA; Devoe, LD; Hadi, HA; O'Dell, BE; Searle, N, 1986)
" Treatment of these rats with alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine, reserpine, or haloperidol for 1 or 2 days after mating increased the interestrous interval by a few days in all rats and to more than 8 days (leading to pseudopregnancy or pregnancy) in 20% of the cases."3.67Dopamine blockade reverses the inhibition of prolactin which results from intrahypothalamic pituitary grafts. ( Averill, RL, 1985)
"Adult female offspring of C57BL/6J mice injected daily with phenobarbital for the last third of pregnancy were more active than control offspring during a 3-min test period in an open field arena, thus confirming previous reports of lasting effects of prenatal exposure to phenobarbital."3.66Prenatal maternal phenobarbital increases reactivity and retards habituation of mature offspring to environmental stimuli. ( Middaugh, LD; Simpson, LW; Thomas, TN; Zemp, JW, 1981)
" To test this hypothesis we studied whether chronic administration of alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine, an inhibitor of tyrosine hydroxylase, to rats during gestation might prevent long-term deleterious effects of prenatal malnutrition on functional properties of interhemispheric connections of the visual cortex, and on asymmetry of visual evoked responses."1.30Prenatal malnutrition-induced functional alterations in callosal connections and in interhemispheric asymmetry in rats are prevented by reduction of noradrenaline synthesis during gestation. ( Alarcon, S; Belmar, J; Carreño, P; Hernández, A; Kusch, C; Pérez, H; Ruiz, S; Soto-Moyano, R, 1998)
"Pheochromocytoma is known to increase morbidity and mortality."1.30Diagnosis and management of pheochromocytoma during pregnancy: a case report. ( Hermayer, KL; Szpiech, M, 1999)
