Abstract excerpt
Striatal dysfunctions seem to play a key role in the pathophysiology of dystonia in the dt(sz) mutant hamster, a model of paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia, in which stress precipitates dystonic episodes. Previous examinations have shown changes in kynurenic acid levels and antidystonic effects of the kynurenine 3-hydroxylase inhibitor 3,4-dimethoxy-N-[4-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-yl]benzenesulfon-amide (Ro...
