Difference between L-DOPA and Restless legs syndrome

L-DOPA vs. Restless legs syndrome

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. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder that causes a strong urge to move one's legs.

Similarities between L-DOPA and Restless legs syndrome

L-DOPA and Restless legs syndrome have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Blood–brain barrier, Dopamine, Dopamine agonist, Nausea, Neurotransmitter, Parkinson's disease, Somnolence.

Blood–brain barrier

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective semipermeable membrane barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain and extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS).
