There was no main effect of drug; thus, levodopa did not increase feelings of sexual arousal in response to the erotic stimuli. Does dopamine increase libido? Increased dopamine levelsin the brain correlate to an increased libido. One can increase brain dopamine levels by either increasing the ac...

Our data suggest that the apomorphine-induced rise in GH does not depend on previous levodopa treatment in PD patients but, as expected, is blocked by dopamine agonists and is not present in patients with other than idiopathic parkinsonian syndrome. Thus, the low-dose apomorphine test may also ...
Article: Chronic high dose L-DOPA alone or in combination with the COMT inhibitor entacapone does not increase oxidative damage or impair the funct
COMT inhibitors in Parkinson's disease: Can they prevent and/or reverse levodopa-induced motor complications? COMT inhibitors have historically been used as adjuncts to levodopa in fluctuating PD patients to increase "on" time and reduce "off" time. Evidence that motor complications are related to...
The risk of motor complications including levodopa-induced dyskinesia, wearing off, and freezing of gait, was comparable between the two groups. The analysis of longitudinal changes in LED using a linear mixed model showed that the increase of LED in the H /D group was more rapid. Conclusions...
Although some therapeutic (for example, Levodopa) and surgical (for example, deep brain stimulation) interventions can alleviate some of the motor symptoms of PD, there is still no treatment to prevent disease progression. In addition to displaying neuronal loss and neuro-inflammation, most PD ...
Gait significantly improved after levodopa administration ( p <0.001). Nonetheless, PFC activation was higher ( p =0.013) in this state than in the OFF state during usual-walking. This increase in PFC activation in the ON state suggests that dopamine treatment interfered with PFC functioning. ...
There were no statistically significant differences in the levodopa equivalent daily dose, clinical phenotype, impulse control disorders (ICDs) and frequency of a positive family history between the two groups. HIV-infected patients had a higher frequency of dopamine dysregulation syndrome. At the end ...
