What mechanisms are responsible for the reuptake of levodopa-derived dopamine in parkinsonian striatum?
Levodopa is the most effective medication for motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease. However, various motor and non-motor complications are associated with levodopa treatment, resulting from altered levodopa-dopamine metabolism with disease progression and long-term use of the drug. The present revi...
