Der Einfluß der Verabreichung von Aminosäuren, speziell von l-DOPA und α-Methyldopa, auf die Zusammensetzung des Liquor cerebrospinalis bei extrapyramidalen Syndromen

1. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood-serum are analysed in 23 patients suffering from Huntington's chorea. The activity of GPT is increased, the concentration of pyruvate is decreased in CSF. The concentrations of the aminoacids Asp, Glu, Gly and Thr are different to normals. In blood-serum the concentrations of ninhydrin reaktive compounds and of pyruvate is slightly increased, the activities of GPT and GOT are in normal range.
