Research Papers that Mention the Interaction
“Introduction of L-dopa treatment reduced BP, HR, and plasma levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline.”
Impaired cardiovascular autonomic control in newly and long-term-treated patients with Parkinson's disease: involvement of l-dopa therapy“ L-Dopa intake significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline in both the supine and upright (60 degrees ) positions.”
“ L-Dopa uptake was decreased by the nonselective adrenergic agonists epinephrine or norepinephrine (40%), by the beta-selective agonist isoproterenol or the beta(2)-selective agonist terbutaline (60%), but not by alpha-selective agonists (all 1 microM).”
L-Dopa uptake and dopamine production in proximal tubular cells are regulated by beta(2)-adrenergic receptors.“The lowering of epinephrine concentration was greater with L-dopa than with D-dopa, was dose-related over a dosage range of 50 to 200 mg/kg of L-dopa and was not prevented by a dopamine receptor antagonist.”
“ Adrenal epinephrine levels were also depressed at 1, 3, 6 and 24 hours after the last l-dopa dose.”
