Phenoconversion Risk Factors in Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder

Biomarkers, Enviromental, iRBD, Parkinson's Disease, Pesticides, Pre-PD /

A multicenter cohort of idiopathic/isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) was studied to determine any predictive factors for α-synuclein–related neurodegenerative illnesses. At the start of the study, patients with iRBD from 12 different sites were given a complete assessment for potential environmental and lifestyle risk factors using a standardized questionnaire. Patients were then […]

Food Contamination: An Unexplored Possible Link between
Dietary Habits and Parkinson’s Disease

Importance of a healthy lifestyle in maintaining the population’s well-being and health,especially in terms of balanced nutrition, is well known. Food choice of and dieting habits couldimpact disease management, which is especially true for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, nowadays, it is not that simple to maintain a balance in nutrition, and the idea of a

Cellular and Molecular Events Leading to Paraquat-Induced Apoptosis: Mechanistic Insights into Parkinson’s Disease Pathophysiology

A-Synuclein, Parkinson's Disease, Pesticides /

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the cardinal features of tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability, in addition to other non-motor symptoms. Pathologically, PD is attributed to the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, with the hallmark of the presence of intracellular protein aggregates of α-synuclein in

High Pesticide Exposure Events and Dream-Enacting Behaviors Among US Farmers

iRBD, Parkinson's Disease, Pesticides, Pre-PD /

Dream-enacting behavior is a characteristic feature of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, the most specific prodromal marker of synucleinopathies. Pesticide exposure may be associated with dream-enacting behaviors, but epidemiological evidence is limited. This study provides the first epidemiological evidence that high pesticide exposures may be associated with a higher risk of dream-enacting behaviors. CLICK

“Metal elements and pesticides as risk factors for Parkinson’s disease – A review”

Biomarkers, Iron, Pesticides /

This review provides an outline of our current knowledge on the possible association between metals and PD. We have discussed the potential association between these two, furthermore the chemical properties, biological and toxicological aspects as well as possible mechanisms of Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Al, Ca, Pb, Hg and Zn in PD pathogenesis. In addition,

A randomization-based causal inference framework for uncovering environmental exposure effects on human gut microbiota

Biomarkers, Gut Dysbiosis, Gut Microbiota, Pesticides, Pre-PD /

We study the effects of these interventions on the human gut microbiome by testing shifts in microbial diversity, changes in individual microbial abundances, and microbial network wiring between groups of matched subjects via randomization-based inference. In the smoking prevention scenario, we identify a small interconnected group of taxa worth further scrutiny, including Christensenellaceae and Ruminococcaceae

A Review on the Health Effects of Pesticides Based on Host Gut Microbiome and Metabolomics

Butyrate, Gut Microbiota, Pesticides, Short Chain Fatty Acids /

A comprehensive analysis of the changes in the gut microbiota and metabolic profile of host will help in understanding the internal mechanism of pesticide-induced toxic effects. This study reviewed the composition and function of the gut microbiota of host, as well as the analysis methods and applications of metabolomics. Importantly, the latest research on the
