Predictors of dopamine agonist resistance in prolactinoma patients. [PDF]
Background Surgical resection of prolactinomas resistant to dopamine agonists is frequently incomplete due to fibrotic changes of the tumour under pharmacological therapy. In order to identify a subgroup of patients who may benefit from early surgery, we

Dopamine inhibits mitochondrial motility in hippocampal neurons. [PDF]
The trafficking of mitochondria within neurons is a highly regulated process. In an earlier study, we found that serotonin (5-HT), acting through the 5-HT1A receptor subtype, promotes axonal transport of mitochondria in cultured hippocampal neurons by ...

Adsorption properties of dopamine derivatives using carbon nanotubes: A first-principles study [PDF]
Detecting dopamine is of great biological importance because the molecule plays many roles in the human body. For instance, the lack of dopamine release is the cause of Parkinson's disease. Although many researchers have carried out experiments on dopamine detection using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), there are only a few theoretical studies on this topic ...

Management of Dopamine Agonist-Resistant Prolactinoma
Dopamine agonists are usually very effective in the treatment of prolactinomas. Nonetheless, a subset of individuals does not respond satisfactorily to these agents, and this resistance is characterized by failure to achieve normoprolactinemia and a 30 ...
