Levodopa (LD) application improves motor symptoms and reduces cortisol levels in patients
with Parkinson's disease (PD). Endurance exercise enhances cortisol release in proportion …

Levodopa (LD) application improves motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease
(PD) patients. Little is known on further effects of LD, which induced lower plasma levels of …

Objectives: To measure exercise induced changes in cortico-motoneuron excitability in
Parkinson's disease (PD) before and after levodopa. Methods: Transcranial magnetic …

Levodopa application improves motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson disease (PD).
Levodopa induces lower cortisol plasma levels and decreases serotonergic activity in …

Background Following cued levodopa (LD) intake, endurance exercise showed a beneficial
effect on scored motor performance in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in comparison …

A matter of debate is the impact of levodopa (LD) application in patients with Parkinson
disease (PD) on altered force development and coordination, which are also influenced by …

Acute levodopa (LD) application and exercise release human growth hormone (GH). An
earlier trial showed, that combined stimulus of exercise and LD administration is the best …

The objective was to investigate the impact of exercise on absorption and efficacy of
levodopa (LD) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). A soluble, immediate release LD …

Animal studies indicate that β 2-adrenergic receptor agonists enhance transport of levodopa
across the blood–brain barrier. Preliminary studies showed improved response to levodopa …

Motor studies of Parkinson's disease (PD) have shown cortical hypo‐activity in relation to
nigrostriatal dopamine depletion. Cognitive studies also identified increased cortical activity …
