Abstract
Five of 24 (21%) normal men (volunteers) administered alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine (AMPT), a catecholamine-depleting agent, developed acute dystonic reactions. The finding that catecholamine depletion without receptor blockade is sufficient to cause acute dystonia suggests that a variety of neurotransmitter imbalances may lead to idiopathic primary dystonia.Entities:
