Other potentially effective, but unapproved uses include the treatment of depression, bipolar depression, opiate and cocaine dependence, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and disease-related fatigue, as well as fatigue that is the side effect of another medication.

When scientists discovered that there are two different MAO enzymes ( MAO-A and MAO-B ), they developed selective compounds for MAO-B, ( for example, selegiline, which is used for Parkinson's disease ), to reduce the side-effects and serious interactions.

Parkinson's disease ( PD ), also known as Parkinson disease, is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer's motor skills and speech.

It plays a critical role in the reward system, but dysfunction of the dopamine system is also implicated in Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.

For example, Parkinson's disease is at least in part related to failure of dopaminergic cells in deep-brain nuclei, for example the substantia nigra.

The risk of falling, in turn, is increased by impaired eyesight due to any cause ( e. g. glaucoma, macular degeneration ), balance disorder, movement disorders ( e. g. Parkinson's disease ), dementia, and sarcopenia ( age-related loss of skeletal muscle ).

It is also more frequent in people with Parkinson's disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

:# If a general medical condition or another mental disorder is present, the fear in Criterion A ( Exposure to the social or performance situation almost invariably provokes an immediate anxiety response ) is unrelated to it, e. g., the fear is not of Stuttering, trembling in Parkinson's disease, or exhibiting abnormal eating behavior in Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa.

This hypothesis is supported by the observation that yeast models of Parkinson's are more susceptible to toxicity from α-synuclein, the major protein component of Lewy bodies, under conditions of low proteasome activity.

Researchers are also interested in proteins that can fold into more than one stable configuration ; protein aggregation diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease and Huntington's Disease as well as prion diseases such as Mad Cow disease can be better understood by constructing ( and deconstructing ) disease models ; the most common way of doing this is by developing a way of inducing the desired disease state in test animals ( administering MPTP to give the animals Parkinson's disease, or knocking out a gene essential for the prevention of certain tumors from the animals ' genomes ).
