temazepam and Cushing Syndrome

temazepam has been researched along with Cushing Syndrome in 1 studies

Temazepam: A benzodiazepine that acts as a GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID modulator and anti-anxiety agent.

Cushing Syndrome: A condition caused by prolonged exposure to excess levels of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) or other GLUCOCORTICOIDS from endogenous or exogenous sources. It is characterized by upper body OBESITY; OSTEOPOROSIS; HYPERTENSION; DIABETES MELLITUS; HIRSUTISM; AMENORRHEA; and excess body fluid. Endogenous Cushing syndrome or spontaneous hypercortisolism is divided into two groups, those due to an excess of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN and those that are ACTH-independent.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Temazepam significantly inhibited the peak serum/plasma levels and area under the curve for circulating cortisol and ACTH in normal subjects after CRH, but there was no such difference after temazepam in patients with Cushing's syndrome."5.08Benzodiazepines attenuate the pituitary-adrenal responses to corticotrophin-releasing hormone in healthy volunteers, but not in patients with Cushing's syndrome.
