reserpine and Nerve Degeneration

reserpine has been researched along with Nerve Degeneration in 27 studies

Reserpine: An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria. Reserpine inhibits the uptake of norepinephrine into storage vesicles resulting in depletion of catecholamines and serotonin from central and peripheral axon terminals. It has been used as an antihypertensive and an antipsychotic as well as a research tool, but its adverse effects limit its clinical use.
reserpine : An alkaloid found in the roots of Rauwolfia serpentina and R. vomitoria.

Nerve Degeneration: Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The stronger in vivo effect of (+)-catechin on L-DOPA methylation compared to the other dietary compounds is due to its better bioavailability in vivo."1.39Beneficial effects of natural phenolics on levodopa methylation and oxidative neurodegeneration. ( Fukui, M; Kang, KS; Wen, Y; Yamabe, N; Zhu, BT, 2013)
" It is known that dopamine (DA) enhances this toxic effect."1.35Endogenous dopamine enhances the neurotoxicity of 3-nitropropionic acid in the striatum through the increase of mitochondrial respiratory inhibition and free radicals production. ( Cano, J; de Pablos, RM; Herrera, AJ; Machado, A; Navarro, A; Santiago, M; Tomás-Camardiel, M; Villarán, RF, 2008)
"Reserpine treatment alone did not change the levels of DA or 2,3-DHBA, while the combined treatment with both MPP(+) and reserpine clearly decreased 2,3-DHBA, as well as DA levels, compared to those in the group treated with MPP(+) alone."1.31Release of dopamine by perfusion with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+)) into the striatum is associated with hydroxyl free radical generation. ( Kinemuchi, H; Obata, T; Oreland, L; Yamanaka, Y, 2001)
"When desipramine (5mM) was added in order to block neuronal uptake the corresponding figures were 4."1.27Reduced uptake of noradrenaline into storage vesicles from the pregnant uterus. ( Dahlin, I; Fried, G; Hammarström, M, 1985)
