Possible effects on other biomarkers and functional scales — including smartphone - based motion sensor data, the level of tau protein in the CSF (which they can measure), and the markers of dopamine metabolism in the brain (although you wouldn't necessarily expect an effect on that)-- are still under analysis.

Fundamental knowledge of the genetic and biochemical processes associated with l - DOPA deficiency in Drosophila sechellia may also contribute to understanding dopamine metabolism in humans. (sciencedaily.com)
«Drosophila sechellia could serve as a useful genetic model organism in which to study dopamine metabolism. (sciencedaily.com)
