Difference between L-DOPA and Levodopa-induced dyskinesia

L-DOPA vs. Levodopa-induced dyskinesia

L-DOPA, also known as levodopa or L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine is an amino acid that is made and used as part of the normal biology of humans, as well as some animals and plants. Levodopa-induced dyskinesia is a form of dyskinesia associated with levodopa, used to treat Parkinson's disease.

Similarities between L-DOPA and Levodopa-induced dyskinesia

L-DOPA and Levodopa-induced dyskinesia have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antiparkinson medication, Concentration, Dopamine agonist, Dyskinesia, FOSB, Nigrostriatal pathway, Parkinson's disease.

Antiparkinson medication

An antiparkinson medication is a type of drug which is intended to treat and relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

FOSB

FBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog B, also known as Finkel-Biskis-Jinkins murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog B, FOSB or FosB, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the FOSB gene.

Nigrostriatal pathway

The nigrostriatal pathway or the nigrostriatal bundle (NSB), is a dopaminergic pathway that connects the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) with the dorsal striatum (i.e., the caudate nucleus and putamen).
