The Roles of Diet, Exercise, & Supplements in Parkinson’s Disease Progression
Objective: The goal of this ongoing study is to describe whether modifiable aspects of lifestyle are associated with PD symptom severity and progression. Background: Epidemiological…Serum soluble transferrin receptor levels correlate with the Hoehn & Yahr stage of Parkinson disease progression
Objective: To test whether levels of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) in the serum of Parkinson disease (PD) patients are correlated with the progression of the disease…Alpha-synucleinopathy and mitochondrial dysfunction in a cell based model of neurodegeneration: Implications in the pathogenesis of sporadic Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To elucidate the role of α-synuclein, parkin and mitochondria in a cell-based model of neurodegeneration relevant to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Background: The suggested mechanisms…Alpha-synuclein protein homeostasis and oligomerization in iron-overloaded cells expressing mutant HFE
Objective: Study the direct and indirect effects of iron overload on alpha synuclein homeostasis in a genetic model of hemochromatosis (HFE) Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD)…Dystonia due to bilateral caudate hemorrhage associated with a COL4A1 mutation
Objective: Pathogenic mutations of COL4A1 are associated with young-onset stroke and porencephaly. We present a case of a 32-year-old female patient with juvenile onset right hand…Elemental fingerprint as a cerebrospinal fluid biomarker for the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To employ a combination of elemental concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to identify a diagnostic biomarker profile differentiating patients with idiopathic Parkinson´s disease…High-Pass Filtered Phase MR Imaging to Detect Longitudinal Motor Associations of Iron Accumulation in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To assess whether longitudinal changes in deep grey matter nuclei iron content are associated with declining motor function in Parkinson’s disease over a period…Iron accumulation in a Wilson disease patient: Longitudinal 7T MRI and transcranial sonography study
Objective: To investigate longitudinal changes in clinical symptoms, 7T MRI and transcranial sonography (TCS) during chelating treatment in a Wilson disease (WD) patient. Background: Pathophysiological…Transcranial sonography of the substantia nigra and its correlation with iron metabolism and c-reactive protein in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To measure the echogenicity of the substantia nigra (SN) by transcranial sonography (TCS) in PD patients and discuss its correlation with iron metabolism and…Brain iron levels in Parkinson’s disease by postmortem and MRI measurements: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Objective: In this study we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis aiming to understand PD-associated iron variations in all brain regions that have been examined,…
