I'm interested in some medicine concepts.
I'm hoping someone can tell me if this has been tried or if it makes sense since I know little about biology.
premises:
lack of dopamine is the main reason for PD
dopamine cant go through the blood brain barrier so we use l-dopa etc...etc...
question:
if we could find a way to get dopamine through the blood brain barrier, would that alleviate the symptoms better than ldopa?
question 2:
is it biologically possible (was there any research), on this kind of threatments:
chemical A chemical B = dopamine
chemical A and B can go through the blood brain barrier
applying the A and B in two phases, so they form dopamine once they are "behind" the blood brain barrier?
P.S. sorry if I'm talking rubbish, but I'm trying to learn/help
