Lrrk2 alleles modify host response to microbial infections
Objective: The mechanisms by which allelic changes in LRRK2 modulate the susceptibility to Parkinson's disease, Crohn's disease and leprosy remain unknown. We hypothesized that leucine-rich…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,…Glial cells and iron accumulation in the brain of the Zitter rat
Objective: To investigate relationship between glial cell and iron accumulation in the brain of the Zitter rat, which is one of neurodegenerative disease model. Background:…Curcumin supplementation improves motor dysfunction in lipopolysaccharide induced Parkinon’s disease model: Possible biochemical, neurochemical and immunohistochemical alterations in rats
Objective: In the present study potential neuroprotective effects of curcumin were tested to determine if they could help to minimize microglia–mediated damage in single intranigral…
