Dissociation of metabolic and hemodynamic levodopa responses in the 6-hydroxydopamine rat model
Neurobiology of Disease, 2016 Dissociation of vasomotor and metabolic responses to levodopa has been observed in human subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) studied with PET and in autoradiograms from 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat. In both species, acute levodopa administration was

PDZD8 is not the ‘functional ortholog’ of Mmm1, it is a paralog [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
F1000Research, 2018 Authors of a recent paper demonstrate that, like ERMES (ER-mitochondria encounter structure) in fungal cells, PDZD8 (PDZ domain containing 8) tethers mitochondria to the ER in mammalian cells.
