Questions
1- Is tyramine a nonselective monoamine releaser like amphetamine
and fenfluramine?
2- Does the effect of tyramine require action-potential propagation?
3- Does the effect of tyramine resists monoamine transporter blockade
by DMI, fluoxetine, cocaine?
4- Could the nonselective amine transporter blocker cocaine mimick the
effect of tyramine by inducing presynaptic inhibition?
5- Can the synaptic inputs to bulbospinal neurons be inhibited by
activation of a2-adrenoceptors, dopamine (D2) and 5-HT1 receptors?
6- Hypothesis: The effect of tyramine is the resultant effect of activation
of all monoamine receptors by endogenous DA, NE, and 5-HT, and
the availability of monoamine terminals.
