Age associated effects of levodopa administration on striatal acetylcholinesterase activity
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare short- and long-term effects of levodopa on acetylcholinesterase activity in young and old rat brain striatum.…Impact of chronic LD treatment on metabolism, blood flow and blood-brain barrier permeability in the 6-OHDA rat model
Objective: To determine the effects of chronic LD treatment and induction of dyskinesias on cerebral metabolism, blood flow and blood-brain barrier permeability in 6-OHDA rat…Effects of levodopa on adaptation of reactive stepping in people with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Participants with PD were able to improve postural stepping responses with practice and this learning was improved by levodopa. Background: Protective steps in response…Is continuous twenty four hour blood pressure monitoring a suitable tool in evaluating sleep disturbances in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To compare blood pressure (BP) changes in nighttime by continuous twenty four hour blood pressure monitoring (RR) as a postulated tool to describe sleep…Evaluation of parkinsonism and striatal dopamine transporter loss in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6
Objective: To study whether spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) patients have parkinsonism and striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) loss compared to gender- and age-matched healthy controls.…Temporal working memory deficit in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether temporal working memory (TWM) could be impacted in Parkinson's disease (PD). We also tested whether idiopathic PD patients (iPD) could be…Improved motor functioning of people with Parkinson’s disease following dance intervention
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of dance as an additional treatment for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Common pharmacological treatments for PD lessen the…Emotional valence and arousal ratings from rewarding and fearful stimuli are not influenced by levodopa in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To analyze the effects of levodopa on affective ratings of emotional valence and arousal to rewarding, fearful and neutral stimuli in PD patients and…Prognostic factors of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease using neuromelanin imaging and the relationship with (123)I-FP-CIT-SPECT
Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between findings of neuromelanin sensitive MRI findings and motor complications. We also examined the correlation of findings…Are limbic and cognitive effects on balance in Parkinson’s disease equal?
Objective: The main objective of this study was to evaluate: (i)whether highly anxious PD (HA-PD) have a reduced capacity for information processing compared to PD…
