ADO and Parkinson disease: Given that recent studies have shown that dopamine can act as an inflammatory molecule in the brain [85] and that excess levels of dopamine can readily autoxidize to form free radicals [86], it is possible that differing levels of ADO pools may play a role in how dopamine is modulated an thus those individuals or animals with higher pools of basal ganglia ADO may be less prone to developing Parkinson’s disease [87], [88].
