| 1 | TH synthesized by the implanted fibroblasts appeared to convert tyrosine to L-dopa actively, as observed in vitro, and to affect the host brain, as assessed through a behavioral measurement. | Levodopa | tyrosine hydroxylase | Rattus norvegicus |
| 2 | These results suggest that primary fibroblasts genetically altered to express TH have the capacity to deliver L-dopa locally to the striatum in quantities sufficient to compensate partially for the loss of intrinsic striatal dopaminergic input. | Levodopa | tyrosine hydroxylase | Rattus norvegicus |
