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

Frontiers 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.

Quercetin‐zinc coordination polymer coated CaCO3 nanoparticles potentiate radiotherapy through reprogramming tumor immunosuppression

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Synthesis of QZCaCO3‐PEG to synergistically enhance the immunogenicity of radiotherapy through concurrent Zn2+‐induced cancer cell pyroptosis and Que‐mediated hypoxia amelioration through sequentially suppressing TGF‐β secretion and ECM deposition. Abstract Radiotherapy has demonstrated broad applications in treating solid tumors, but the hostile tumor

Novel Zwitterionic Polydopamine Nanofiller‐Reinforced Hybrid Membranes With Superior Antifouling Performance for Wastewater Treatment

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This work reports one‐pot synthesized novel zwitterionic polydopamine‐silica (ZSiPDA) nanofillers for fabricating PES hybrid ultrafiltration membranes with enhanced hydrophilicity, permeability, and antifouling performance. The optimized membrane achieved over 91% humic acid removal and showed strong potential for municipal wastewater treatment.

Diagnostic yield and copy number variants findings in 219 adult patients with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract In a clinical setting, exome sequencing (ES) with copy number variant (CNV) analysis is currently the most effective approach for developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE). However, trio‐based ES is often not feasible in adults, its costs remain prohibitive in certain health care settings, and computational tools for CNV calling still

Analysis of amino acids in Mucuna pruriens supplements using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

Amino Acids
Mucuna pruriens (MP), or velvet bean, has been used as an alternative medicine in India for over 4500 years, predominantly due to the natural abundance of the non-protein amino acid L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA).

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Relationship between L-DOPA-induced reduction in motor and exploratory activity and degree of DAT binding in the rat

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Purpose: The present study assessed the influence of L-DOPA administration on neostriatal dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT) binding in relation to motor and exploratory behaviors in the rat.Methods: Rats received injections of 5 mg/kg L-DOPA, 10 mg/kg L ...

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Dopamine D3 receptor stimulation underlies the development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in animal models of Parkinson's disease

Neurobiology of Disease, 2009
Development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) remains a major problem in the long-term treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Sensitization to L-DOPA correlates with ectopic expression of D3 dopamine receptors in the striatum, implicating D3 receptors ...
