How does methyldopa affect catecholamine levels in the body and what is the significance of these changes in regulating vascular resistance and blood pressure?
Methyldopa decreases catecholamine synthesis, reducing vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure by inhibiting central alpha-2 adrenergic receptors.
