Does levodopa reduce muscle tone and lower extremity tremor in Parkinson 's disease?
These findings suggest that dopaminergic systems are involved in the regulation of muscle tone during stance. Depletion of dopaminergic transmission results in increased muscle tone and tremor in the lower extremities which may contribute to changes in posture and stability.
The deficiency in circulating iNKT cells in cutaneous lupus erythematosus is associated with an increase of iNKT cells at the site of cutaneous inflammation. These data underscore the importance of analyzing iNKT cells not only in PB, but also in the target tissues.
