A sympathomimetic amine that acts by displacing stored transmitter from adrenergic axonal terminals. Tyramine is a constituent of many foods, such as green beans, cheese, and red wine, and the amine is normally degraded by monoamine oxidase enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract when these foods are ingested. Patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) must restrict their intake of foods high in tyramine content because of the risk of a life-threatening hypertensive crisis.<\/p>\n
The amine formed by decarboxylation of the amino acid tyrosine.<\/p>\n
An enzyme found in cheese, beans, tinned fish, red wine and yeast extract, which can cause high blood pressure if found in excessive quantities in the brain.<\/p>\n
The amine of tyrosine; an amine with vasoactive effects similar to epinephrine. It is found in French cheese, cheddar cheese, yeast, chianti, and canned fish. It can also be produced by microorganisms in the gut. Symptoms of migraine headache and urticaria can occur in sensitive persons.<\/p>\n
Amino acid. Persons taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors should avoid foods containing tyramine (e.g., chocolate, cola drinks, beer, some wines, some cheeses).<\/p>\n
An amine naturally occurring in cheese. It has a similar effect in the body to that of epinephrine. This effect can be dangerous in patients taking MAO inhibitors (antidepressants), in whom blood pressure may become very high. Cheese is therefore not advised when such drugs are prescribed.<\/p>\n
A variety of the chemical compound amine, which is derived from ammonia. A sympathomimetic agent with an action which resembles that of adrenaline, tyramine occurs in mistletoe, mature cheese, beers, red wine and decaying animal matter. This adrenaline effect is potentially dangerous for patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors antidepressant drugs because, when combined with tyramine, the blood pressure rises sharply. Such patients should avoid taking cheese, beers and red wine.<\/p>\n
An intermediate product in the conversion of tyrosine to epinephrine. Tyramine is found in most cheeses and in beer, broad bean pods, yeast, wine, and chicken liver.<\/p>\n
A compound with phenolic amine properties, originating from the amino acid tryptophan and present in different food items and beverages such as cheese and red wine, has the potential to induce severe headaches known as migraines.<\/p>\n
An amino acid found in diverse foods, such as cheese, chocolate, red wine, and beer. Tyramine exerts a stimulating impact on the body. This compound can interact with specific medications (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) utilized for depression treatment; combining them can lead to negative responses like headaches and an elevation in blood pressure.<\/p>\n
