Parkinson’s Disease and Molecular Hydrogen.

Posted on May 12, 2017 by Dr. Gary Pack

Melanin is a pigment located in the skin and in a deep part of the brain called the Substantia Nigra (SN). This area of the brain deteriorates in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Melanin production* deteriorates in the SN as PD progresses, and this may be a cause for progression of the disease. Melanin may be able […]

Tyrosine Hydroxylase Activity in Parkinson’s Disease.

Posted on May 4, 2010 by Dr. Gary Pack

Tyrosine hydroxylase is a BH4 (tetrahydrobiopterin) dependent enzyme which increases the conversion of tyrosine, an amino acid, to l-DOPA (l-dihydroxyphenylalanine.) This enzyme activity was measured in multiple parts of the leguminous plant, Mucuna pruriens (velvet bean.) l-DOPA is a treatment for Parkinsonism. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and is converted to dopamine in the brain. […]
