This report describes a method to assess, in vivo, the turnover of dopamine (DA) and describes its application to the evaluation of DA function in normal monkeys and monkeys with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced lesions of the DA nigro-striatal pathway. Using positron emis

## Abstract The antitremor effect of the D~2~ agonist LY 171555 and of the D~1~ agonist CY 208β243 alone and in combination was tested in a monkey previously rendered parkinsonian by MPTP and displaying exceptionally a rest termor in the limbs. The D~2~ agonist suppressed rest tremor in a doseβdepe
Cisapride (CIS) is a prokinetic agent that increases gastrointestinal motility in normal individuals and improves constipation in Parkinson's disease (PD). We studied the effects of CIS on the clinical response and the peripheral pharmacokinetics of orally administered L-dopa given to patients with
