Physical training prevents depressive-like behavior and bdnf decrease in an animal model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two types of physical training on depressive-like behavior and pro-BDNF, BDNF and its…Speed and severity of toxicity induced by pre-formed α-synuclein fibrils in rat brain is enhanced by α-synuclein overexpression
Objective: To develop a physiologically relevant model of PD. Background: Intracerebral injection of pre-formed α-synuclein fibrils has emerged as an interesting tool to induce PD-like…SOD1 aggregation: A pathological link between Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?
Objective: To characterize (1) a novel association between superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) aggregation and neuronal loss in the Parkinson's disease (PD) brain and (2) the…Cerebellar atrophy in Parkinson’s disease and its implication for network connectivity
Objective: To determine the effect of cerebellar atrophy on resting-state network abnormalities in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Background: In Parkinson's disease, the cerebellum is a…Analysis of relationships between spinal deformity and walking ability in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To determine the impact on walking ability of spinal deformity and imbalance as distinct from movement disorder in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Despite a…Impairments in trunk muscle function influence head and trunk stability during walking in Parkinson’s disease fallers
Objective: This prospective study aimed to evaluate the relationship between impaired trunk muscle function, segmental coordination and future falls in people with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Differences of gut bacterial community relate to pathology progress in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine whether intestinal microbiota correlate with progression of clinical severity and serum inflammation marker. Background: Constipation is…IL-6 and motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the concentration of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum of patients with PD and its relation to motor symptoms. Background: Participation of inflammatory mechanisms…Postural and nonmotor disturbances in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate postural impairments (PI) and their interrelation with non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: PI mechanisms are only partially known.…Presynaptic dopamine depletion predicts late complications and time of progression to advanced disease in patients with early Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate whether the degree of reduced dopamine transporter binding in the striatum is a risk factor for late complications and time of progression…
