oxidopamine and Restless Leg Syndrome

oxidopamine has been researched along with Restless Leg Syndrome in 4 studies

Oxidopamine: A neurotransmitter analogue that depletes noradrenergic stores in nerve endings and induces a reduction of dopamine levels in the brain. Its mechanism of action is related to the production of cytolytic free-radicals.
oxidopamine : A benzenetriol that is phenethylamine in which the hydrogens at positions 2, 4, and 5 on the phenyl ring are replaced by hydroxy groups. It occurs naturally in human urine, but is also produced as a metabolite of the drug DOPA (used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Pursuant to the clinical suspicion that restless legs syndrome (RLS) may involve dopaminergic diencephalic spinal neurons (A11), we performed stereotaxic bilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions into the A11 nucleus to observe for any behavioral correlates similar to this clinical condition."1.31Clinical correlates of 6-hydroxydopamine injections into A11 dopaminergic neurons in rats: a possible model for restless legs syndrome.
