dihydroxyphenylalanine and Seizures

dihydroxyphenylalanine has been researched along with Seizures in 52 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.

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.

"We studied the effect of striatal dopamine depletion induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in mice on kainic acid (KA) evoked seizures."7.69Motor expression of kainic acid seizures is attenuated by dopamine depletion in mice. ( Bonuccelli, U; Fariello, R; Garant, DS; Maggio, R, 1994)
"We studied the effect of striatal dopamine depletion induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in mice on kainic acid (KA) evoked seizures."3.69Motor expression of kainic acid seizures is attenuated by dopamine depletion in mice. ( Bonuccelli, U; Fariello, R; Garant, DS; Maggio, R, 1994)
"This result indicates that while the seizure-suppressant effect of intranigral GVG requires alpha 2-mediated NE neurotransmission, the mechanism of this anticonvulsant action is not by increasing NE neuronal activity."1.27Anticonvulsant action of intranigral gamma-vinyl-GABA: role of nonadrenergic neurotransmission. ( Bonhaus, DW; McNamara, JO, 1988)
"Reserpine enhanced the incidence of seizures, and the effect was reversed by 5-hydroxytryptophan but not by dihydroxyphenylalanine."1.25Effects of aminergic drugs and glutamic acid on audiogenic seizures induced by early exposure to ethanol. ( Ginsburg, BE; Sze, PY; Yanai, J, 1975)
