Effects of levodopa and dopamine on plasma 11-Hydroxycorticosteroid concentrations in mice.
Hormone and Metabolic Research, 2008Co-Authors: Suzan A. Darwish, B L FurmanAbstract:: The effects of levodopa on the plasma concentration of 11-Hydroxycorticosteroids and glucose were examined in mice. In fasted, nialamide treated mice, but not in fed mice, levodopa produced a significant decrease in the plasma concentration of 11-Hydroxycorticosteroids. This was accompanied by a significant and marked decrease in the plasma glucose concentration. These effects of levodopa could be mimicked by relatively small doses of dopamine injected intracerebroventricularly but not intravenously. The integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis in nialamide-treated mice was suggested by the elevation in plasma 11-Hydroxycorticosteroids produced by fasting or by insulin induced hypoglycaemia. These results indicate that in the mouse, as in other species, levodopa can inhibit stress provoked increases in the secretion of 11-Hydroxycorticosteroids.

Plasma 11-Hydroxycorticosteroid concentrations and prognosis in accidental hypothermia.
Resuscitation, 2004Co-Authors: D Maclean, Margaret C. K. BrowningAbstract:Abstract In 84 patients with accidental hypothermia plasma 11-Hydroxycorticosteroid concentrations were found to be high (mean ± 1 SD=68.2 ± 44.9 μg/ 100 ml) at the time of their admission to hospital, although significant inverse correlations could still be demonstrated between the plasma 11-Hydroxycorticosteroid concentrations and the severity ( P 0.0125) and estimated duration ( P

Comparison of the Adrenocorticotrophic Activities of Two Synthetic Polypeptides: Synacthen and DW 75*
1Co-Authors: Downie W. W., Whaley K., Wright, Mary A., Bell, Margaret A., Taylor, Anne K.Abstract:The adrenocorticotrophic activities of two synthetic polypeptides, Synacthen (Ciba) and DW 75 (Sandoz), were compared in two groups of patients having a variety of arthritic disorders. Compared with Synacthen, injected either intramuscularly or intravenously, intravenous DW 75 was found to have a longer duration of adrenocorticotrophic activity (measured by plasma 11-Hydroxycorticosteroid levels) in both groups of patients, while intramuscularly administered DW 75 did not appear to be absorbed well
