Giris Jacob et al.
Circulation, 107(19), 2475-2479 (2003-04-23)
Despite the widespread use of tyramine as a pharmacological tool to assess the effects of norepinephrine release from sympathetic nerve terminals, its vascular effects are not adequately characterized. In particular, previous results indicate that intravenous tyramine produces little if any
Tony Huynh et al.
The Journal of pathology, 231(2), 223-235 (2013-06-25)
The over-expression of NF-κB signalling in both muscle and immune cells contribute to the pathology in dystrophic muscle. The anti-inflammatory properties of glucocorticoids, mediated predominantly through monomeric glucocorticoid receptor inhibition of transcription factors such as NF-κB (transrepression), are postulated to
D R Varma et al.
The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 265(3), 1096-1104 (1993-06-01)
At concentrations higher than that required to produce maximal vasoconstriction, tyramine caused concentration-dependent relaxation of rat aortic strips contracted maximally by tyramine, norepinephrine, phenylephrine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, prostaglandin F2 alpha, endothelin, angiotensin II and potassium; isoproterenol did not relax potassium-contracted strips. The
Thomas Roeder
Annual review of entomology, 50, 447-477 (2004-09-10)
Octopamine (OA) and tyramine (TA) are the invertebrate counterparts of the vertebrate adrenergic transmitters. They are decarboxylation products of the amino acid tyrosine, with TA as the biological precursor of OA. Nevertheless, both compounds are independent neurotransmitters that act through
Angela B Lange
General and comparative endocrinology, 162(1), 18-26 (2008-07-01)
It is well acknowledged that tyramine acts as the biosynthetic intermediate precursor for octopamine. This fact has biased the interpretation of biological effects of tyramine towards an artifact of it being a partial agonist on octopamine receptors. Over recent years
