Some scientists found that people with PD who had been using levodopa for
some time had higher levels of homocysteine than newly-diagnosed PD patients who had not begun treatment with levodopa. In another study, using mice, researchers found that on a low-folate diet the mice had increased levels of homocysteine. They speculate that increased homocysteine can worsen oxidative stress on the neurons that produce dopamine, and make them more easily damaged by environmental toxins. Levodopa seems to hasten brain damage if B vitamins aren't supplemented! http://forum.parkinson.org/index.php...nsons-disease/ http://www.researchgate.net/publicat...vodopa_therapy http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...d.php?t=162193 Last edited by zanpar321; 04-24-2015 at 11:17 PM. |
