Effect of Nicotine on the Pharmacokinetics of Levodopa, anti-parkinsons med
The study found that nicotine reduced plasma levodopa concentration in some healthy subjects but with no alteration of gastric emptying rate. In vitro, nicotine inhibited levodopa transport by Caco-2 cell monolayers in an α-methyl amino isobutyric acid-independent, 2-amino-norbornanecarboxylic acid-dependent manner. These results suggest that nicotine may inhibit the transport of levodopa by the system L-aminoContinue reading “Effect of Nicotine on the Pharmacokinetics of Levodopa, anti-parkinsons med”
