Benefit and motor side effects of l-DOPA in Parkinson's disease have been related to dopamine transmission in the striatum. However, the putative involvement of serotonergic neurons in the dopaminergic effects of l-DOPA suggests that the striatum is not ...

Altered resting state cortico-striatal connectivity in mild to moderate stage Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by dopamine depletion in the striatum. One consistent pathophysiological hallmark of PD is an increase in spontaneous oscillatory activity in the basal ganglia ...

Striatal proteomic analysis suggests that first L-dopa dose equates to chronic exposure. [PDF]
L-3,4-dihydroxypheylalanine (L-dopa)-induced dyskinesia represent a debilitating complication of therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) that result from a progressive sensitization through repeated L-dopa exposures. The MPTP macaque model was used to study

Synthesis of L-DOPA based pigments with different physic-chemical properties [PDF]
Using air- or Fe2+/H2O2-mediated oxidation, the formation of melanin-like pigments from L-DOPA was evaluated. The effects of the various reaction conditions on the efficiency of the reaction and the physic-chemical properties of the pigments generated ...

Today we would find it difficult to place ourselves in the position of the physician or the patient prior to the L-DOPA era of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). David Marsden, the eminent British neurologist, neuroscientist and PD researcher of the second half of the last century and an eyewitness to that historical turning point, paints with few brush strokes,

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD), is a disorder debilitant characterized by the reduction of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons within the midbrain, specifically in the substantia nigra pars compacta, which results for the dopamine (DA) depletion ...

Dopamine transporter binding is unaffected by L-DOPA administration in normal and MPTP-treated monkeys. [PDF]
BackgroundRadiotracer imaging of the presynaptic nigrostriatal dopaminergic system is used to assess disease progression in Parkinson's disease (PD) and may provide a useful adjunct to clinical assessment during therapeutic trials of potential ...

Dopa-responsive dystonia and hyperprolactinaemia : a novel association in two sisters [PDF]
Dopa-Responsive Dystonia (DRD) is a rare hereditary condition of childhood-onset dystonia which responds dramatically to treatment with levodopa. It was first described in 1971 as a "hereditary progressive basal ganglia disease with marked diurnal ...
