a(CHEBI:dopamine) decreases path(MESH:"Parkinson Disease")
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by selective damage to dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons and is clinically revealed by motor deficits, including rigidity, tremor, and bradykinesia. Dopamine replacement therapy (usually with L-dopa) is the most common treatment, although this drug loses efficacy over time.
