(författare) Neurotransmitter levels in basal ganglia during L-dopa and Deep Brain Stimulation treatment in Parkinson’s Disease 2013 Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract Background: Bilateral deep brain stimulation of the nucleus subthalamicus (STN DBS) is a wellestablishedtreatment in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD). The mechanism bywhich STN DBS improves the PD symptoms remains unclear. In a previous perioperativestudy we have shown that there might be alterations of neurotransmitter levels in the Globuspallidum interna (GPi) during STN DBS. In this study we wanted to examine if STN DBSand L-dopa infusion interact and affect the levels of neurotransmitters.Methods: Five patients with advanced PD took part in the study. During STN surgery microdialysis catheters were inserted bilaterally in the GPi and unilaterally in the right putamen. A study protocol was set up and was followed for three days including STN DBS left side, right side and bilateral. L-dopa infusion with and without concomitant bilateral STN DBS was also performed.Results: The putaminal dopamine levels increase during STN DBS. In addition an increase of GABA concentrations in the GPi during STN DBS and during L-dopa infusion was found.Conclusions: These findings can provide evidence that the STN has a direct action on the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and that STN DBS may indirectly release putaminal dopamine. There is also evidence that STN DBS interferes with L-dopa therapy resulting in higher levels of Ldopa in the brain explaining why its possible to decrease L-dopa medication after DBS surgery.
