Central levodopa metabolism in Parkinson's disease after administration of stable isotope-labeled levodopa.

abstract：:The pathogenetic role of anti-GM1 in chronic acquired demyelinating polyneuropathy (CADP) is uncertain. An association between antibodies and disease activity has not yet been established. In 8 patients with CADP followed longitudinally, anti-GM1 antibodies were monitored with a standardized enzyme-linked immunosorben...
