The authors describe a 42-year-old man who developed "on-off" episodes and for whom lithium carbonate proved an effective treatment. They speculate that the predominant effect of lithium in the "on-off" syndrome is to prevent L-dopa desensitization of the dopamine receptor.
作者描述了一名42岁的男性,他出现了“开-关”现象,而碳酸锂被证明是一种有效的治疗方法。他们推测,锂在“开-关”综合征中的主要作用是防止多巴胺受体对左旋多巴产生脱敏。
