l-DOPA, a dopamine precursor, is commonly used as a treatment for patients with conditions such as Parkinson's disease. This therapeutic l-DOPA, as well as the dopamine derived from l-DOPA, can be dea...
Impulsivity and substance use disorders (SUD) have been both associated with changes in dopaminergic processes. In this study, we intended to evaluate the dopaminergic function in imprisoned SUD offen...
The study included 46 male individuals from a Portuguese penal institution. The participants were assessed through a battery of standardised instruments: Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), Barratt...
Overall, 73.9% (n = 34) of the individuals had Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and 58.7% (n = 27) presented SUD. We evidenced, for the first time, that, in individuals with SUD, s-COMT activity...
This study opens new perspectives regarding the pharmacological intervention on substance dependence through the interference on dopamine pathways....
Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) has been shown to influence clinical pain, descending modulation, and exercise-induced symptom worsening. COMT regulates nociceptive processing and inflammation, ke...
A case-control study with repeated-measures design was used to reduce the chance of false positive and increase the power of our findings. Fifty-four participants (28 patients with CFS/FM and 26 contr...
COMT haplotypes were associated with DNA methylation in the S-COMT promoter, TGF-β expression, and symptoms. However, this was not specific for one condition. Significant between-group differences wer...
Our results are consistent with basic and clinical research, providing interesting insights into genetic-epigenetic regulatory mechanisms. MB-COMT DNA methylation might be an independent factor contri...
Increased oxidative stress (OS) and depletion of nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) are closely linked to the neurodegeneration observed in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Caffeic acid (CA)-based antioxidants were...
The gut microbiota modulates dopamine levels in vivo, but the bacteria and biochemical processes responsible remain incompletely characterized. A potential precursor of bacterial dopamine production i...
Human faecal bacterial communities O-demethylated 3MT and yielded dopamine. Gut bacteria that mediate this transformation were identified as acetogens Eubacterium limosum and Blautia producta. Upon ex...
Gut bacterial acetogens E. limosum and B. producta synthesized dopamine from 3MT. This O-demethylation of 3MT was likely performed by cobalamin-dependent O-demethylases implicated in reductive acetoge...
This is the first report that gut bacteria can synthesize dopamine by O-demethylation of 3MT. Owing to 3MT being the product of host COMT attenuating dopamine levels, gut bacteria that reverse this tr...
The treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) is still symptomatic since disease-modifying treatments for PD are not available. Oral levodopa is the gold standard for the treatment of PD motor symptoms. H...
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, crossover, phase I, pharmacokinetic study with 25 healthy volunteers was conducted. In addition, a semi-mechanistic pharmacokinetic model was built to t...
The effect of increased carbidopa doses 50 and 100 mg on the total exposure (AUC) of 100 mg IR levodopa was +29% and +36%, respectively, when entacapone was co-administered. Without entacapone, the co...
Increasing carbidopa doses significantly increased the exposure and reduced the fluctuation of IR levodopa in plasma during simultaneous COMT inhibition with entacapone. Theoretical pharmacokinetic si...
The catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene has arguably been the designated pain sensitivity gene for nearly two decades. However, the literature provides inconsistent evidence. We performed several...
Recent findings have associated different COMT genotypes with working memory capacity in patients with fibromyalgia. Although it is thought that the COMT gene may influence neural correlates (P2 and P...
The catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene is thought to have an important role in the etiopathogenesis of schizophrenia, but there are conflicting results regarding its role in clinical presentatio...
Long-term levodopa therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) can cause levodopa induced dyskinesia (LID). Genetic predisposition has a significant role to play in inter-individual heterogeneity in the clin...
In this meta-analysis, we have used 9 studies, which were selected through online databases. Statistical analysis was performed using R (v-3.6) software. 5 genetic models have been used in the present...
The results indicated a significant association between COMT rs4680 (Val158Met) polymorphism and LID risk. The genotype AA of COMT rs4680 is a risk factor for LID in PD patients under the recessive mo...
The results of the present meta-analysis support that the COMT Val158Met polymorphism is a risk factor for the development of LID in PD patients having ethnic variations....
