Although the origin of fluctuations is unknown, these could be, at least partly, attributed to pharmacokinetic factors. Aromatic aminoacids interfere in the absorption and brain penetration of levodopa, and lowering protein intake improves the quality of the response. The continuation of a low-protein diet is difficult for some patients. In this way, to know if these diet effects are noticeable in an acute period would be interesting, in order to select groups of patients who were susceptible to improve with this treatment. In this report we have studied the acute effect of a low protein diet on the pharmacological response to levodopa, and the plasmatic levels of L-Dopa, 3-OM-Dopa and large neutral aminoacids. Protein restriction improves clinical response to levodopa, although the mechanisms of this improvement remain unknown.</p>","PeriodicalId":8654,"journal":{"name":"Archivos de neurobiologia","volume":"54 6","pages":"296-302"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12973398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An integrated battery of neuropsychological testing (PIEN-Test Barcelona. Peña, 1990) was used, in conjunction with \"Beck's Depression Inventory\". The results show significant differences in the following areas: expressive language, complex language comprehension, motor coordination, complex visuospatial factors, verbal memory and WAIS-type intelligence factors. Discriminant analysis was performed to select the most discriminating variables. The results were as follows, beginning with the most discriminating factor: motor coordination, complex comprehension, complex visuospatial factors, math skills and an overall slowing down.
