Abstract:

Data on changes in the function of external respiration induced by Parkinson's disease (idiopathic Parkinsonism) obtained by various research groups (including results of the author's own studies) are compared. Probable neurochemical and other mechanisms that influence the system controlling respiratory activity and parameters of lung ventilation are discussed.

Keywords: Parkinson's disease; restrictive disorders of lung ventilation; obstructive disorders of lung ventilation; control of respiration; carotid bodies; dopamine; L-DOPA
