racemetirosine and Schizophrenia

racemetirosine has been researched along with Schizophrenia in 9 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)

Schizophrenia: A severe emotional disorder of psychotic depth characteristically marked by a retreat from reality with delusion formation, HALLUCINATIONS, emotional disharmony, and regressive behavior.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Previous studies demonstrated increased striatal dopamine (DA) release after amphetamine challenge and increased striatal baseline occupancy of D2 receptors in patients with schizophrenia compared with control subjects."3.75Baseline and amphetamine-stimulated dopamine activity are related in drug-naïve schizophrenic subjects. ( Abi-Dargham, A; Kegeles, LS; Laruelle, M; Slifstein, M; van de Giessen, E, 2009)
"The antipsychotic effect of alpha-methyltyrosine (alpha-MT) in combination with thioridazine was investigated by means of rating scales for "social behaviour" and "mental symptoms"."1.27Antipsychotic treatment with alpha-methyltyrosine in combination with thioridazine: prolactin response and interaction with dopaminergic precursor pools. ( Carlsson, A; Larsson, M; Ohman, R; Wålinder, J; Wallin, L, 1984)
