Initially restoration of striatal dopamine with oral levodopa provides substantial benefit, but with long term treatment and disease progression, levodopa can elicit additional clinical symptoms, ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with an increased risk of melanoma, but the link between levodopa therapy and melanoma is less clear. The Electronic Medicines Compendium (EMC) explicitly ...

A dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (DDCI), such as carbidopa or benserazide, is administered with levodopa to attenuate its peripheral conversion to dopamine, reduce nausea and increase central ...

[63] A second trial, called Stalevo Reduction in Dyskinesia Evaluation (STRIDE-PD), was designed to evaluate whether Stalevo would delay the onset of dyskinesia compared with levodopa/carbidopa.

"These findings illuminate a critical mechanism that connects local synaptic activity to the broader gene expression changes necessary for learning and memory," said Mark Dell'Acqua, professor of ...

Larger, longer-term studies, with more detailed specimen analysis, such as metagenomics or multi-omic approaches are needed to validate our results and better understand the mechanism of the ...

In this study, we screened a large number of FDA-approved drugs and found levodopa, a drug used to treat Parkinson’s disease, had an inhibitory effect on the growth of ESCC cells. To elucidate the ...

These drugs include other antidepressants (eg, mirtazapine, reboxetine, venlafaxine), lamotrigine, carbidopa/levodopa, and amantadine (based on its effect as a noncompetitive inhibitor of the N ...
