Journal ArticleDOI

Increased life expectancy resulting from addition of l-deprenyl to Madopar® treatment in Parkinson's disease: A longterm study

TL;DR: Results are interpreted as indicating l-deprenyl's ability to prevent or retard the degeneration of striatal dopaminergic neurons, the first anti-Parkinson drug having such a property.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress and antioxidant therapy in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Experimental therapeutic refinements to attenuate the effects of oxidative stress and to provide neuroprotection of striatal dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease include blocking dopamine transporter by mazindol, blocking NMDA receptors by dizocilpine maleate, enhancing the survival of neurons by giving brain-derived neurotrophic factors, providing antioxidants such as vitamin E, or inhibiting monoamine oxidase B by selegiline.
Journal ArticleDOI

The potentiation of the anti akinetic effect after L-dopa treatment by an inhibitor of MAO-B, Deprenil.

TL;DR: Deprenil is an inhibitor of MAO-B and is characterized by less frequent side effects, which can be eliminated by lowering the dosage of Deprenil, which is an excellent drug for preventing these.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deprenyl administration in man: A selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor without the ‘cheese effect’

TL;DR: Oral phenylethylamine challenge with amounts greater than those known to be present in a normal diet similarly gave rise to no adverse reaction in (-)-deprenyl-treated subjects; the reasons for this remain to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of the clinical effects of phenelzine and placebo in the treatment of phobic anxiety.

TL;DR: The correlates of response and the results of the clinical ratings suggest that phenelzine is not acting as an antidepressant in this population of chronic agoraphobic and socially phobic psychiatric out-patients.
