Welcome to the NEW Baltimore County volunteer site! We encourage agencies in Baltimore County and the surrounding communities to create a profile to highlight their volunteer needs. We invite people searching for volunteer opportunities to use either the quick search tool above or register as a volunteer from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

A dopamine reuptake inhibitor has a number of medical applications.
COMT inhibitor. COMT inhibitors block one of two ways levodopa can be inactivated before it reaches the central nervous system and is activated to dopamine. Peripheral inhibitors of DOPA decarboxylase (AADC) block the second way. (Dopamine in the periphery only causes side effects, no antiparkinson effect.)
