Effects of midodrine and L-NAME on systemic and cerebral hemodynamics during cognitive activation in spinal cord injury and intact controls [PDF]
This is the published version.We previously showed that increases in mean arterial pressure (MAP) following administration of midodrine hydrochloride (MH) and nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) resulted in increased mean cerebral blood flow velocity (

Amyloid neuropathy is caused by deposition of insoluble β‐pleated amyloid sheets in the peripheral nervous system. It is most common in: (1) light‐chain amyloidosis, a clonal non‐proliferative plasma cell disorder in which fragments of immunoglobulin, light or heavy chain, deposit in tissues, and (2) hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis, a ...

Istradefylline/L‐DOPA Parkinson's disease therapy and energy coupling
Abstract Background Both dopamine and adenosine are physiologically involved in cellular energy metabolism. Aim Novel approaches targeting delaying progression strategies for Parkinson's disease (PD) examined the effects of long‐term use of A2AR antagonist/istradefylline (IST) adjunct to L‐DOPA (LD), nutshell IST‐LD, with an expected energy coupling ...
