dihydroxyphenylalanine and Childhood Torsion Disease

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Childhood Torsion Disease in 37 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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Striatal 18F-Dopa uptake and glucose metabolism were studied by positron emission tomography with 6-L-[18F]fluorodopa and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose, respectively, in 8 patients with idiopathic dystonia."3.68Increased striatal 18F-dopa uptake and normal glucose metabolism in idiopathic dystonia syndrome. ( Fukumura, T; Goto, I; Ichiya, Y; Kato, M; Kuwabara, Y; Masuda, K; Otsuka, M; Sasaki, M; Shima, F, 1992)
"Many different disorders have dystonia as the only or primary sign."2.40Dystonia. ( Bressman, SB, 1998)
"The cause of Dystonia Musculorum Deformans (DMD) is most frequently unknown, therefore the treatment can only be symptomatic and often disappointing."2.40[Recessive dopa-responsive form of dystonia due to a mutation of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene]. ( Rondot, P; Wevers, RA, 1999)
"It is known that most cases of idiopathic torsion dystonia (ITD) are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion."1.29Striatal [18F]dopa uptake in familial idiopathic dystonia. ( Brooks, DJ; Fletcher, NA; Marsden, CD; Playford, ED; Sawle, GV, 1993)
"Treatment with tetrabenazine did not significantly alter the metabolite levels in patients in whom it produced either improvement, or side effects."1.26CSF studies on the relationship between dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in Parkinsonism and other movement disorders. ( Davidson, DL; Mawdsley, C; Pullar, IA; Wilson, H; Yates, CM, 1977)
" This study was initiated following significant symptomatic worsening by the patient with supplemental ascorbic acid at a dosage of 2 g/day."1.26Effect of supplemental ascorbic acid in a case of torsion dystonia. ( Mars, H, 1976)
