Review of Metabolomics-Based Biomarker Research for Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD), as the second most common neurodegenerative disease, is seriously affecting the life quality of the elderly. However, there is still a lack of efficient medical methods to diagnosis PD before apparent symptoms occur. In recent years, clinical biomarkers including genetic, imaging, and tissue markers have exhibited remarkable benefits in assisting PD diagnoses. […]

To search for targets of therapy that changes the course of Parkinson’s disease

Abstract .Background. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a multisystem disease that requires a more comprehensive approach to its study and treatment. The purpose was to give clinical and laboratory characteristics of PD patients, in whom the onset of motor symptoms of the disease is associated with the action of precipitating factors and provide a theoretical justification

Orthostatic Hypotension: JACC State-of-the-Art Review

Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension is a highly prevalent and disabling feature of autonomic failure due to both peripheral and central neurodegenerative diseases. Community-based epidemiological studies have demonstrated a high morbidity and mortality associated with neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. It is due to impairment of baroreflex-mediated vasoconstriction of the skeletal muscle and splanchnic circulation and is caused by damage

Association Between Parkinson’s Disease and Atrial Fibrillation: A Population-Based Study

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction contributes to several non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). In addition, ANS plays a role in the genesis and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study investigated the temporal association between PD and AF. This study demonstrated that the premotor and early stages of PD were comorbid with AF, whereas

Taurine protects dopaminergic neurons in paraquat-induced Parkinson’s disease mouse model through PI3K/Akt signaling pathways

Taurine (Tau) is one of the most abundant amino acids in the brain and regulates physiological functions in the central nervous system, including anti-inflammatory effects. There is growing evidence that microglia-mediated neuro-inflammatory responses are an integral part of Parkinson’s disease (PD) onset and progression. Among the many factors regulating the inflammatory response, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)

Gingival Crevicular Fluid as Biomarker’s Source for Alzheimer’s Disease

Periodontitis is a low-grade inflammatory disease caused by a subgingivaldysbiotic microbiota. Multiple studies have determined the higher prevalence of toothloss and poor oral hygiene in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, theperiodontal diagnosis, periodontal bacteria or mediators has not been measuredto date. Aim: To determine the periodontal status, the pro-inflammatory mediators,Porphyromonas gingivalis load, and Apoliporpotein

Psychedelic-Inspired Approaches for Treating Neurodegenerative Disorders

Psychedelics are increasingly being recognized for their potential to treat a wide range of braindisorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use disorder.Their broad therapeutic potential might result from an ability to rescue cortical atrophy common tomany neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases by impacting neurotrophic factor geneexpression, activating neuronal growth and survival mechanisms, and

The Role of Dysbiosis in Neurological Disorders

The gut brain axis is a system of bi-directional communication. When the delicate balance of the microbiome is disrupted, the resulting dysbiosis can be a factor in the development of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease (PK), and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). One major player in the gut brain axis are short-chain fatty acids

The Emerging Scenario of the Gut–Brain Axis: The Therapeutic Actions of the New Actor Kefir against Neurodegenerative Diseases

The fact that millions of people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) orParkinson’s disease (PD), the two most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), has beena permanent challenge to science. New tools were developed over the past two decades andwere immediately incorporated into routines in many laboratories, but the most valuable scientificcontribution was the “waking up” of
