Metoclopramide-Induced Pheochromocytoma Crisis: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine‐secreting neuroendocrine tumor originating in the adrenal medulla. In patients with pheochromocytoma, paroxysmal over‐secretion of catecholamines can be triggered by various medications, including the commonly used antiemetic metoclopramide.

Liquid chromatographic assay for cerebrospinal fluid normetanephrine [PDF]
A method for quantitation of normetanephrine in human cerebrospinal fluid is described. An amine-specific reagent, sulfosuccinimidyl propionate, is used to obtain the lipid soluble N-propionyl derivative of normetanephrine, which can be separated and quantitated in presence of other biogenic amines by liquid chromatography with electrochemical ...

Catecholamines in neuroblastoma: Driver of hypertension, or solely a marker of disease?
Background Neuroblastoma is a common solid tumor of childhood and is often associated with hypertension. Potential etiologies contributing to hypertension include renal compression, pain, volume overload, and catecholamine secretion. Cases We completed a

Pseudo-pheochromocytoma due to obstructive sleep apnea: a case report
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition of intermittent nocturnal upper airway obstruction. OSA increases sympathetic drive which may result in clinical and biochemical features suggestive of pheochromocytoma.

Corticosterone Potentiation of Cocaine-Induced Reinstatement of Conditioned Place Preference in Mice is Mediated by Blockade of the Organic Cation Transporter 3 [PDF]
The mechanisms by which stressful life events increase the risk of relapse in recovering cocaine addicts are not well understood. We previously reported that stress, via elevated corticosterone, potentiates cocaine-primed reinstatement of cocaine seeking

Optimized procedures for testing plasma metanephrines in patients on hemodialysis
Diagnosis of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas in patients receiving hemodialysis is troublesome. The aim of the study was to establish optimal conditions for blood sampling for mass spectrometric measurements of normetanephrine, metanephrine and 3 ...

Organic Cation Transporter 3: A Cellular Mechanism Underlying Rapid, Non-Genomic Glucocorticoid Regulation of Monoaminergic Neurotransmission, Physiology, and Behavior [PDF]
Corticosteroid hormones act at intracellular glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) to alter gene expression, leading to diverse physiological and behavioral responses.
