摘要: Plasma 3-O-methyldopa (3OMD) concentrations in parkinsonian patients treated with levodopa on a long-term basis reflect daily dosage and do not vary markedly during the day. Oral challenges 3OMD reduce clinical response to infusions, but is no more potent than phenylalanine this regard. These observations, plus fact that makes small contribution total concentration of large neutral amino acids competing for transport at blood--brain barrier, support contention an important determinant levodopa.
