The long-term effect of selegiline (L-deprenyl) in the treatment of Parkinson's disease has not been clearly delineated. We report on a group of patients whose treatment was initiated with selegiline (n = 43) and then subsequently included L-dopa-carbidopa (Sinemet) and in whom an extended period o
Administration of L-dopa (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) (200 mg/kg p.o.) to rats produced elevated plasma and muscle concentrations of both L-dopa and 3-O-methyldopa (3-OMD). This effect was potentiated by simultaneous administration of carbidopa (25 mg/kg p.o.). Both L-dopa and 3-OMD accumulated in
