The gut-brain connection in the pathogenicity of Parkinson disease: Putative role of autophagy

Hence, this review will mainly focus on analysing the basic components of the gut that might be responsible for aggravating lewy pathology, the mediator(s) responsible for transmission of PD pathology from gut to brain and the important role of trehalose in ameliorating gut dysbiosis related PD complications that would eventually pave the way for therapeutic […]

Fibroblast growth factor 21 and autophagy: A complex interplay in Parkinson disease

Hence, autophagy modulation might provide some interesting cues for the treatment of PD. Additionally, Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) which is known for its role as a potent regulator of glucose and energy metabolism has also proved to be neuroprotective in various neurodegenerative conditions possibly via mediation of autophagy.

The Mitochondrial Permeability Transition: Nexus of Aging, Disease and Longevity

The increased activity of mPTP in aging turns autophagy/mitophagy into a destructive process leading to cell aging and death. Several drugs and lifestyle modifications that enhance healthspan and lifespan enhance autophagy and inhibit the activation of mPTP. Therefore, elucidating the intricate connections between pathways that activate and inhibit mPTP, in the context of aging and
