Tuore tutkimus osoitti, että pitkäaikainen korkea kofeiinin kulutus on yhteydessä dopamiinitoiminnan muutokseen Parkinson-potilailla. Kofeiinin käyttö ennen aivojen dopamiinikuvantamista voi myös vaikuttaa kuvaustulokseen. Tyks Valtteri Kaasinen utu.fi/fi/ajankohtais…

A new study shows that regular high caffeine consumption affects dopamine function in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Caffeine consumption before undergoing diagnostic brain dopamine imaging may also affect the imaging results. Tyks Valtteri Kaasinen utu.fi/en/news/press-…
