Eight normal subjects were tested with LVP before and after treatment with Reserpine. The results show that Reserpine inhibits the cortisolemic response to the LVP test. This effect can most likely be attributed to the depletion of catecholamines induced by these drugs on the CNS and, in particular, in the Hypothalamus.

D012110 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.
