“However, both concentrations of berberine in 6-OHDA-lesioned groups treated with l-DOPA aggravated the numbers of TH-immunopositive neurons in the substantia nigra and the levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, DOPAC and HVA in the striatum as compared to rats not treated with berberine.”
Neurotoxic effects of berberine on long-term l-DOPA administration in 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rat model of Parkinson’s disease“It is, therefore, suggested that the use of long-term l-DOPA therapy with isoquinoline derivatives including berberine may need to be examined for the presence of adverse symptoms.”
“Hence, BBR might improve the brain function by upregulating the biosynthesis of l-dopa in the gut microbiota through a vitamin-like effect.”
“These results demonstrated that BBR was an agonist of TH in Enterococcus and could lead to the production of l-dopa in the gut.”
