Query to both Chat GPT and Grok:

How do  drugs like levadopa get from the stomach to the part of the brain affected by Parkinson’s? How long does it take?

Chat TP.t : 

X’s Grok replied:

Drugs like levodopa, the primary medication for Parkinson’s disease, are administered orally and absorbed in the small intestine. Once absorbed, levodopa is transported to the brain via the bloodstream. The drug then crosses the blood-brain barrier and reaches the affected areas of the brain, such as the substantia nigra, where it is converted into dopamine to help alleviate Parkinson’s symptoms.

The time it takes for levodopa to reach the brain and exert its effects can vary depending on factors such as individual absorption rates, food intake, and the presence of other medications. On average, it takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour for levodopa to be absorbed and reach peak levels in the bloodstream. However, the onset of symptom relief may vary from person to person.

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of levodopa can be influenced by various factors, such as the progression of the disease, the presence of other medications, and individual patient characteristics.

How do drugs like levadopa get from the stomach to the part of the brain affected by Parkinson’s? How long does it take?  

ChatGPT:  

Levodopa, the primary medication used to treat Parkinson’s disease, is absorbed in the small intestine after being taken orally. Once absorbed, it enters the bloodstream and is transported to the brain where it is converted into dopamine, the neurotransmitter that is deficient in Parkinson’s patients. The time it takes for levodopa to reach the brain and start working can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s metabolism, the presence of food in the stomach, and other medications being taken concurrently. Generally, it can take around 30 minutes to 1 hour for levodopa to start having an effect, with peak levels reached within 1-2 hours after ingestion.

Underlying question: is cancer a metabolic or genetic disease? 

But like most binaries, too simple. Viral or immunological?

Is Cancer a Genetic Disease or a Metabolic Disease?

Is Cancer a Genetic Disease or a Metabolic Disease?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28250801

Cancer is a systemic disease involving multiple time- and space-dependent changes in the health status of cells and tissues that ultimately lead to malignant tumors [2]. Neoplasia involving dysregulated cell growth is the biological endpoint of the disease [3, 4]. Tumor cell invasion into surrounding tissues and their spread (metastasis) to distant organs is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality…

In contrast to the extensive genetic heterogeneity seen in tumors, most if not all neoplastic cells within tumors share the common metabolic malady of aerobic fermentation that arises ultimately from dysregulated oxidative phosphorylation [2, 17, 2933]. In light of these findings, cancer can also be recognized as a metabolic disease.

In 1927 Otto Warburg noticed that cancer cells exhibited a distinct metabolic phenotype, consuming up to 200× more glucose than normal cells (the “Warburg effect”). Indeed, based on Warburg’s influence, most cancer drugs discovered in the 1950s and 1960s were called “antimetabolites”. However, with Warburg’s death in 1970 and the discovery of oncogenes in 1971, most cancer researchers shifted their thinking to view cancer as a genetic disease rather than a metabolic disease.

Chat GPT versus Grok

I asked both Chat GPT and Grok the same question and got two very similar replies:  How do  drugs like levadopa get from the stomach to the part of the brain affected by Parkinson’s? How long does it take?
