The priority treatment approach for prolactinomas is therapy with dopamine agonists, which allows for elimination of clinical symptoms, normalization of prolactin levels, reduction of the adenoma size and prevention of metabolic abnormalities in the ...

Dopamine agonists and antipsychotics [PDF]
There can potentially be a number of clinical interactions that could adversely affect patient outcomes in a patient with a prolactinoma and psychiatric disease that might require antipsychotic and dopamine agonist treatment. Dopamine agonists stimulate the dopamine D2 receptor, resulting in a decrease in prolactin (PRL) levels and in prolactinoma size

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 ...

Cholinergic modulation of dopamine overflow in the rat neostriatum: A fast cyclic voltammetric study in vitro [PDF]
Stimulus-evoked dopamine overflow in rat neostriatal slices was determined using fast cyclic voltammetry. The dopamine efflux induced by intrastriatal stimulation increased with stimulus intensity and was found to be enhanced by more than 100% upon ...

Predictors of dopamine agonist resistance in prolactinoma patients
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

Serotonin system implication in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia: from animal models to clinical investigations [PDF]
In the recent years, the serotonin system has emerged as a key player in the induction of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in animal models of Parkinson's disease. In fact, serotonin neurons possess the enzymatic machinery able to convert exogenous l-DOPA

Dopamine Agonists: From the 1970s to Today
The discovery of dopamine inhibitory effects on prolactin secretion has led to an era of successful dopaminergic therapy for prolactinomas. Herein we provide an overview of the evolution of dopamine agonists and their use in patients with PRL-secreting ...

Reward learning as a potential target for pharmacological augmentation of cognitive remediation for schizophrenia: a roadmap for preclinical development. [PDF]
RationaleImpaired cognitive abilities are a key characteristic of schizophrenia. Although currently approved pharmacological treatments have demonstrated efficacy for positive symptoms, to date no pharmacological treatments successfully reverse cognitive

RGS4 regulates partial agonism of the M2 muscarinic receptor-activated K+ currents. [PDF]
Partial agonists are used clinically to avoid overstimulation of receptor-mediated signalling, as they produce a submaximal response even at 100% receptor occupancy.
