Peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors paradoxically induce aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase
Abstract Peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors (PDIs) prevent conversion of levodopa to dopamine in the blood by the enzyme aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC). Alterations in enzyme activity may contribute to the required higher dosages of levodopa observed in many patients with Parkinson’s di...
