Primary hyperparathyroidism and ALS: is there a relation?

abstract：:Current concepts suggest that avoidance of pulsatile stimulation of dopamine receptors in Parkinson's disease (PD) can prevent the onset of dyskinesia. In MPTP-treated primates, repeated administration of levodopa or other short-acting dopamine agonist drugs leads to the onset of marked involuntary movements. In contr...
