[Effect of Nakom on the activity of the hypothalamo-hypophyseo-adrenal system]. 1986

V N Slavnov, and G V Valueva, and M I Iatsyk

The effect of nakom, containing the dopamine precursor levodopa, on the activity of the hypothalamo-hypophysial-adrenal system (HHAS), the content of dopamine in the hypothalamus and the cerebral hemisphere cortex and cAMP in tissues, was studied in experiments on rats. It was revealed, that the preparation in the 2 mg per 100 g dose has a marked inhibiting action on the activity of the HHAS, that is expressed in 2 h by the drop of the level of ACTH, corticosterone, aldosterone in blood that is maintained for 10 hours and disappears 24 hours after the administration. One of the possible mechanisms of the inhibiting action of the preparation on HHAS activity is the increase of dopamine content in the hypothalamus and cerebral hemisphere cortex. The inhibiting action of the preparation on HHAS activity is dose-dependent. The inhibiting influence of nakom on the HHAS activity is realized through the adenylate cyclase system.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007030 Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System A collection of NEURONS, tracts of NERVE FIBERS, endocrine tissue, and blood vessels in the HYPOTHALAMUS and the PITUITARY GLAND. This hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal circulation provides the mechanism for hypothalamic neuroendocrine (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) regulation of pituitary function and the release of various PITUITARY HORMONES into the systemic circulation to maintain HOMEOSTASIS.

D007980 Levodopa The naturally occurring form of DIHYDROXYPHENYLALANINE and the immediate precursor of DOPAMINE. Unlike dopamine itself, it can be taken orally and crosses the blood-brain barrier. It is rapidly taken up by dopaminergic neurons and converted to DOPAMINE. It is used for the treatment of PARKINSONIAN DISORDERS and is usually given with agents that inhibit its conversion to dopamine outside of the central nervous system.

D010913 Pituitary-Adrenal System The interactions between the anterior pituitary and adrenal glands, in which corticotropin (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex and adrenal cortical hormones suppress the production of corticotropin by the anterior pituitary.

D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions.

D002230 Carbidopa An inhibitor of DOPA DECARBOXYLASE that prevents conversion of LEVODOPA to dopamine. It is used in PARKINSON DISEASE to reduce peripheral adverse effects of LEVODOPA. It has no anti-parkinson activity by itself. Methyldopahydrazine,Carbidopa, (R)-Isomer,Carbidopa, (S)-Isomer,Lodosin,Lodosyn,MK-485,MK-486,MK 485,MK 486,MK485,MK486
D003345 Corticosterone An adrenocortical steroid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid. (From Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1437)
D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
