摘要
Acute injections of 8 mg/kg of 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylaianine (L-DOPA) or 0.05 mg/kg rimonabant equally improved contralateral forepaw stepping in rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions, and their combination improved stepping more than either drug alone. However, 0.05 mg/kg rimonabant did not alter the changes in stepping produced by acute injections of a dyskinesic dose of 35 mg/kg L-DOPA. Thus, not only is a cannabinoid antagonist monotherapeutic in this animal model of Parkinson's disease, but it also enhances the therapeutic effect of a moderate, but not a high, dose Of L-DOPA.
