The role of neuroinflammation in the development of Parkinson’s disease dementia
Objective: To evaluate, at post-mortem, the pattern and characteristics of neuroinflammatory change in Parkinson's disease (PD) brain and to assess its relationship with aberrant alpha-synuclein,…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…Gender-dependent behavioral and biochemical differences in the A53T genetic mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The main aim of the present study was to investigate whether behavioral and biochemical differences may occur between male and female old (12-month-old) transgenic…Glatiramir acetate (Copaxone) causes restoration of the striatal dopamine in a progressive MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess if a microglial modulator, Glatiramer Acetate (GA), can restore loss of striatal dopamine (DA) and behavioral deficits following progressive 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6 tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)…Amelioration of αLPHA-synuclein aggregation and motor behavior deficits by apocyanin in intranigral lipopolysaccharide induced animal model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The present study evaluated the therapeutic potentials of apocyanin for the treatment of neurobehavioral consequences in LPS induced PD model. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD),…Role of macroautophagy in regulating microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and dopaminergic neuron injury
Objective: To investigate the potential role of macroautophagy in the regulation of microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and dopamine neuron injury. Background: Chronic neuroinflammation, a process mediated by…Lymphocytes have a detrimental effect on motor behavior in the AAV1/2 A53T α-synuclein mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the contribution of the adaptive immune system in the pathogenesis of a mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD) based on AAV1/2 driven…Involvement of peripheral immune system in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the role of peripheral immune system in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease carrying LRRK2 risk variants. Background: Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2)…Piper longum L. alkaloids inhibit lipopolysaccharide-stimulated microglial activation and protect nigral dopaminergic neurons
Objective: The ethanol-extracted alkaloids from the dry seeds of Piper longum L. (PLL) (family Piperaceae) PLA contain numerous compounds. We evaluate the potential of PLA…Associations between cerebrospinal fluid proteins and cytokines in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins and cytokines, and their correlation with clinical measures in PD. Background: Several studies have investigated…
