dihydroxyphenylalanine and Body Weight

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Body Weight in 36 studies

Dihydroxyphenylalanine: A beta-hydroxylated derivative of phenylalanine. The D-form of dihydroxyphenylalanine has less physiologic activity than the L-form and is commonly used experimentally to determine whether the pharmacological effects of LEVODOPA are stereospecific.
dopa : A hydroxyphenylalanine carrying hydroxy substituents at positions 3 and 4 of the benzene ring.

Body Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Therefore, fluorine-18-labeled 6-fluoro-L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (FDOPA) was used together with positron emission tomography to estimate the activity of the aromatic amino acid decarboxylase in the brain of 10 newborn IUGR piglets (2 to 5 d old; body weight, 908 +/- 109 g) and in 10 normal-weight (3 to 5 d old; body weight, 2142 +/- 373 g) newborn piglets."3.71Intrauterine growth restriction induces up-regulation of cerebral aromatic amino acid decarboxylase activity in newborn piglets: [18F]fluorodopa positron emission tomographis study. ( Bauer, R; Bergmann, R; Brust, P; Füchtner, F; Vorwieger, G; Walter, B, 2001)
"A young girl with hereditary progressive dystonia with diurnal fluctuation or Segawa's syndrome, completely handicapped and confined to a wheelchair between the age of 5 and 9, revealed an unusually slow response to levodopa."3.68Hereditary progressive dystonia with diurnal fluctuation (Segawa's syndrome)--an unusual case. ( Kaiser, R; Ziegler, G, 1992)
