Bromocriptine alone or associated with L-dopa plus benserazide in Parkinson's disease.
Twenty-six patients affected by Parkinson's disease were treated with a 2-Br-alpha-ergocriptine (CB 154): 14 cases were given CB 154 alone, and 12 were given CB 154 along with L-dopa plus benserazide (Madopar). Both CB 154 and combined therapy (CB 154+Madopar) induced a significant improvement in total disability score, tremor, rigidity, akinesia, self-sufficiency, and some motor performance te...
متن کاملl-Dopa induced dyskinesias in Parkinsonian mice: Disease severity or l-Dopa history
In Parkinson's disease, the efficacy of l-Dopa treatment changes over time, as dyskinesias emerge with previously beneficial doses. Using MitoPark mice, that models mitochondrial failure in dopamine (DA) neurons and mimics the progressive loss of dopamine observed in Parkinson's disease, we found that the severity of DA denervation and associated adaptations in striatal neurotransmission at the...
متن کاملInfluence of the therapy with pergolide mesylate plus L-DOPA and with L-DOPA alone on serum cGMP level in PD patients.
The aim of our study was to investigate serum cGMP level in patients treated with L-DOPA alone and L-DOPA with pergolide mesylate (PM) and to compare the obtained values with age-matched healthy subjects. PD patients treated with L-DOPA or with PM + L-DOPA had significantly higher cGMP levels in serum as compared to control. Moreover, cGMP level was significantly higher after treatment with PM ...
متن کاملNiacin depletion in Parkinsonian patients treated with L-dopa, benserazide and carbidopa.
1. Benserazide and carbidopa, decarboxylase inhibitors used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, have been shown to inhibit the enzyme kynurenine hydrolase in rat and mouse liver. This results in reduced synthesis of nicotinamide coenzymes from tryptophan, and hence an increased reliance on dietary niacin. 2. Pellagra might be expected as a result of this inhibition of endogenous synthesis ...
متن کاملAdministration of L-arginine plus L-citrulline or L-citrulline alone successfully retarded endothelial senescence
L-citrulline and L-arginine supplementation has been shown to have several beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Nitric oxide (NO) protects against the progression of atherosclerosis and is synthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which converts L-arginine (L-Arg) into L-citrulline (L-Cit). Our previous study revealed that chronic administration of a combination of L-Cit and L- Ar...
