dihydroxyphenylalanine and Dejerine-Thomas Syndrome

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Dejerine-Thomas Syndrome in 3 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.

"Striatal 18F-Dopa uptake and brain glucose metabolism were studied by PET with 6-L-[18F]flurodopa and [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose in 11 patients with syndrome of progressive ataxia."5.07Striatal 18F-dopa uptake and brain glucose metabolism by PET in patients with syndrome of progressive ataxia. ( Akashi, Y; Fukumura, T; Goto, I; Hosokawa, S; Ichiya, Y; Kato, M; Kuwabara, Y; Masuda, K; Otsuka, M; Yoshida, T, 1994)
"Ten patients with sporadic olivopontocerebellar atrophy and autonomic failure were studied with positron emission tomography."1.29Positron emission tomography studies on the dopaminergic system and striatal opioid binding in the olivopontocerebellar atrophy variant of multiple system atrophy. ( Brooks, DJ; Burn, DJ; Marsden, CD; Mathias, CJ; Quinn, NP; Rinne, JO, 1995)
"When all three categories of Parkinson's disease, MSA, and SRO were considered together, clinical and 18F-dopa PET findings correlated in 64% of patients assigned a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and 70% of those given a diagnosis of SRO; MSA was less readily discriminated, patients with MSA being assigned to MSA, Parkinson's disease, and SRO groups with equal frequency."1.29Differential diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome: discriminant analysis of striatal 18F-dopa PET data.
