The aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and dopamine (DA) in the gastrointestinal tract are to a large extent of exogenous origin and derived from food. Tissue concentrations of norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (Epi), DA, DOPA, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), as measured by reverse-phase HPLC with electrochemical detection, were studied in fed and 4-day-fasted Wistar rats as well as in sympathectomized and adrenodemedullated rats.

Abstract:
The catecholamine, dopamine (DA), is synthesized from 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) by aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC). Dopamine metabolism is regulated by monoamine oxidase (MAO) and catechol- O-methyltransferase (COMT). To measure dopaminergic metabolism, we used microdialysis with radiometric detection to monitor L-[β-11C]DOPA metabolites in the extracellular space of the rat striatum. We also evaluated the effects of AADC, MAO, and COMT inhibitors on metabolite profiles. The major early species measured after administration of L-[β-11C]DOPA were [11C]3,4-dihydroxyphenyl

Ferrous sulfate decreases L-dopa bioavailability in humans probably as a result of binding of L-dopa by iron in the gastrointestinal tract. This study was conducted to determine if iron by binding L-dopa decreases L-dopa absorption and to investigate the effect of different pH buffers on intestinal absorption of L-dopa in the presence and absence of ferrous sulfate. A rat model developed to examine drug absorption was used. Control animals had buffered [14C]L-dopa solutions injected into two in vivo closed segments of intestine; a 5-cm duodenal and a 5-cm proximal jejunal segment. These studie

Abstract:
Abstract L-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (L-dopa) is the most widely used drug in Parkinson’s disease treatment. However, development of cost-effective and high-throughput sensors to accurate enantioselective discrimination of L-dopa and D-dopa remains challenging to date. Herein, on the basis of the peroxidase-mimic activity of chiral Fe x Cu y Se nanoparticles, we demonstrated a novel colorimetric sensor for determination of chiral dopa. The surface chiral ligand, L/D-histidine (L/D-His), endowed the nanozymes with enantioselectivity in catalyzing the oxidation of dopa enantiomers. According t

Betalains are pigments naturally produced by plants belonging to the order Caryophyllales.

These enzymes show few similarities with the plant enzymes at structural or kinetic levels but achieve the same activity, raising questions on their possible exchange with plant DODA enzymes and subsequent complementation in the biosynthetic pathway of betalains.

L-dopa is a precursor of dopamine used as the most effective symptomatic drug treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Most of the L-dopa isolated is either synthesized chemically or from natural sources, but only some plants belonging to the Fabaceae family contain significant amounts of L-dopa. Due to its low stability, the unambiguous determination of L-dopa in plant matrices requires appropriate technologies. Several analytical methods have been developed for the determination of L-dopa in different plants. The most used for quantification of L-dopa are mainly based on capillary electrophoresis

Levodopa (L-Dopa) is considered to be one of the most effective therapies available for Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment. The therapeutic window of L-Dopa is narrow due to its short half-life, and long-time L-Dopa treatment will cause some side effects such as dyskinesias, psychosis, and orthostatic hypotension. Therefore, it is of great significance to monitor the dynamic concentration of L-Dopa for PD patients with wearable biosensors to reduce the risk of complications. However, the high concentration of interferents in the body brings great challenges to the in vivo monitoring of L-Dopa.
