dihydroxyphenylalanine and Choreoathetosis Self-Mutilation Hyperuricemia Syndrome

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Choreoathetosis Self-Mutilation Hyperuricemia Syndrome in 2 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.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The fluorodopa F 18 ratio was significantly lower in the putamen (31 percent of control values), caudate nucleus (39 percent), frontal cortex (44 percent), and ventral tegmental complex (substantia nigra and ventral tegmentum; 57 percent) in the patients with Lesch-Nyhan disease than in the controls."1.29Presynaptic dopaminergic deficits in Lesch-Nyhan disease.
