I think the problem is that i attempted to summarise a radio interview, in which the Prof. was speaking without a script , and a transcript can be quite garbled. The key point, which I missed out, is that new work that they have done shows that Selegiline is metabolised to des-methyl selegiline and this is what provides the protective component, but (and he is not very clear here ) It would appear that the remaining Selegiline masks the efect of the des-methyl selegiline. Does that make any more sense? -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
