Levodopa 0-6 erythropoietin Rattus norvegicus 64-78 21683736-2 2011 Considering the well known neuroprotective effects of erythropoietin (EPO), the inhibitory effects of EPO on L-DOPA neurotoxicity need to be evaluated. Levodopa 109-115 erythropoietin Rattus norvegicus 102-105 21683736-7 2011 Free radicals and hydroxyl radical levels increased by L-DOPA were decreased after combined treatment of L-DOPA and EPO. Levodopa 55-61 erythropoietin Rattus norvegicus 105-119 21683736-10 2011 Pretreatment with LY294002, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, prior to combined treatment with EPO and L-DOPA almost completely blocked the protective effects of EPO. Levodopa 112-118 erythropoietin Rattus norvegicus 171-174 21683736-11 2011 These results indicate that EPO can prevent L-DOPA neurotoxicity by activating the PI3K pathway as well as reducing oxidative stress.
