racemetirosine and Weight Gain

racemetirosine has been researched along with Weight Gain in 2 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)

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Lowering the plasma T3 concentration (with carbimazole; CA group) elevated the plasma insulin concentration, promoted a small increase in the plasma albumin concentration and caused weight gain in comparison with the LP group."3.70Lowering of plasma triiodothyronine level and sympathetic activity does not alter hypoalbuminaemia in rats fed on a diet of low protein concentration. ( Lunn, PG; Sawaya, AL, 1998)
" 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)
