Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010 Background l-Dopa has been used for Parkinson's disease management for a long time. However, its wide variety in the rate and the extent of absorption remained challenge in designing suitable therapeutic regime.

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010 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
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2010 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]
PLoS ONE, 2008 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

Molecules, 2021 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA) is a preferred drug for Parkinson’s disease, with an increasing demand worldwide that mainly relies on costly and environmentally problematic chemical synthesis.

Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, 2017 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,

In silico and in vitro exploration of a tyrosinase for biocatalytic production of catechols
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Tyrosinase from Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is a promising biocatalyst for producing valuable catechols from monophenol substrates. This tyrosinase is uniquely suited to this due to its high monophenolase : diphenolase ratio. We combined in silico docking and in vivo kinetic characterisation of this tyrosinase with 11 industrially relevant monophenols,

Dopamine transporter binding is unaffected by L-DOPA administration in normal and MPTP-treated monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 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 ...

CSF Monoamine Metabolites and Cognitive Trajectory in Early Parkinson's Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Imaging and postmortem studies indicate that abnormalities in monoaminergic neurotransmission contribute to cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it remains uncertain if cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) monoamine metabolites can serve as biomarkers of cognitive decline in early PD.

Neurobiology of Disease, 2013 The serotonin system has recently emerged as an important player in the appearance of l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in experimental models of Parkinson's disease, as it provides an unregulated source of l-DOPA-derived dopamine release in the dopamine ...
