Adenosine A(2A) receptor (A(2A)R) antagonists, including the non-specific adenosine antagonist caffeine, have been proposed as a novel, non-dopaminergic treatment strategy for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the long-term interaction between caffeine and L-dopa treatment in PD models has not been characterized. We examined the interaction between caffeine and L-dopa following a repeated treatment paradigm in hemiparkinsonian mice. In contrast to the progressively sensitized rotational… CONTINUE READING
