Background: A central role for apolipoprotein E (APOE) has been suggested in modulating processes of neurodegeneration.
Objective: To study the association between serum APOE levels, APOE gene polymorphisms, and Parkinson's disease (PD).
Material And Methods: Fifty-five patients with PD and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled.
Background: Despite multiple diagnostic tests, multiple sclerosis (MS) remains a clinical diagnosis with supportive paraclinical evidence.
Objective: To measure glutamate and nitric oxide serum levels in MS patients during and in between relapses to assess their potential role as biomarkers of disease activity and relapses.
Subjects And Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out on 70 MS patients and 40 age and sex matched apparently healthy controls.
Introduction: Epilepsy is a chronic disease that affects metabolism either alone or through the antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment. A risk of atherosclerosis has been found in epileptic patients.
Aim: Prove the potential role of epilepsy and/or its treatment as atherosclerotic risk factors.
