L-Dopa in Hepatic Coma

open access: yesAnnals of Surgery, 1976
The use of L-Dopa in hepatic coma has been the subject of numerous reports since 1970. The following represents our experience with a rather heterogenous group of patients treated at the Massachusetts General Hospital over the past 4 years. Thirty-five patients with severe liver disease, a mean age of 53 +/- 3.5 years, including nutritional cirrhosis ...

Transformative Masked Ortho‐Quinone Chemistry: From Direct Guaiacol Activation to Lignin‐Based Adhesives

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Renewable guaiacols are rapidly oxidized by phenyliodine(III)diacetate to masked ortho‐quinones, giving a new class of monomers that undergo selective Michael‐type polyaddition with multithiols to from thiol‐guaiacol connectivity‐bearing polymers. The activation applies to discrete monomers and directly to lignin, enabling two‐component adhesives that ...

l-DOPA and Its Receptor GPR143: Implications for Pathogenesis and Therapy in Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
l-3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) is the most effective therapeutic agent for Parkinson’s disease (PD). l-DOPA is traditionally believed to be an inert amino acid that exerts actions and effectiveness in PD through its conversion to dopamine.

Atomically precise metal cluster enzymes for pathological tissue regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of atomically precise metal cluster enzymes (MCEs) for pathological tissue regeneration. Atomically precise MCEs can modulate biological processes, such as attenuation of inflammatory responses, eradication of bacterial pathogens, regulation of angiogenesis, and promotion of cell development.

Raised endogenous monoamine oxidase inhibitor output in postwithdrawal alcoholics: effects of L-dopa and ethanol.

open access: yes, 1982
Urinary output of endogenous monoamine oxidase inhibitor was significantly greater in a group of postwithdrawal alcoholics than in controls. An oral dose of 0.5 g of L-dopa reduced output to control values in the alcoholics, but in the controls ...

Protective Effects of L-Dopa and Carbidopa Combined Treatments on Human Catecholaminergic Cells

open access: yes, 2012
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders characterized by decreased levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) in the striatum of the brain, as a result of degeneration of DA neurons.

Delayed O-methylation of L-DOPA in MB-COMT-deficient mice after oral administration of L-DOPA and carbidopa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
1.Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is involved in the O-methylation of l-DOPA, dopamine, and other catechols. The enzyme is expressed in two isoforms: soluble (S-COMT), which resides in the cytoplasm, and membrane-bound (MB-COMT), which is anchored to
