normetanephrine and Parkinson Disease

normetanephrine has been researched along with Parkinson Disease in 6 studies

Normetanephrine: A methylated metabolite of norepinephrine that is excreted in the urine and found in certain tissues. It is a marker for tumors.

Parkinson Disease: A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Levodopa induced an increase of about 400 fold in urinary DA; DOPAC was increased about 300 fold, 3-MT only about 70 fold, but HVA about 300 fold."1.25Urinary excretion of monoamines and their metabolites in patients with Parkinson's disease. Response to long-term treatment with levodopa alone or in combination with a dopa decarboxylase inhibitor and clinical correlations. ( Rinne, UK; Siirtola, T; Sonninen, V, 1975)
