Levodopa (LD) application improves motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Little is known on further effects of LD, which induced lower plasma levels of cortisol and lower serotonergic activity in certain brain areas of fish. Objectives of

Levodopa (LD)/dopa decarboxylase inhibitor application increases 3-O-methyldopa (3-OMD) concentrations in association with methyl group transfers, which demand for the conversion of methionine to homocysteine. This accompanying reaction is partially reversible by methyl group-donating vitamins. The objective of this study was

A simple and rapid assay is described for the simultaneous analysis of levodopa (l-DOPA) and 3-O-methyldopa (3-OMD) in human plasma samples, applying an ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method with electrochemical detection, designed for clinical trials performed to study the effect

Levodopa is the most effective symptomatic treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), but its use is often associated with development of motor complications. These adverse responses to fluctuations in dopaminergic stimulation can be reduced by concomitant administration of a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT)

The AAPS journal, 15(2), 316-323 (2012-12-12)
Motor complications of Parkinson's disease (PD) are a consequence of pulsatile dopaminergic stimulation from standard oral levodopa therapy. Levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) is infused continuously via an intrajejunal percutaneous gastrostomy tube. This was the first study designed to characterize the
