Levodopa 61-69 metallothionein 3 Rattus norvegicus 14-33 11065139-2 2000 Here we examined the expression of MT-III mRNA in the basal ganglia of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned hemi-parkinsonian rats and its regulation by levodopa. Levodopa 152-160 metallothionein 3 Rattus norvegicus 35-41 11065139-4 2000 Levodopa treatment significantly increased the expression of striatal MT-III mRNA in the non-lesioned side, but showed no significant effect in the 6-OHDA-lesioned side. Levodopa 0-8 metallothionein 3 Rattus norvegicus 70-76
