Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Anneliese Arz"
- Anneliese Arz's research primarily focuses on the biochemical aspects of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Huntington's disease (HD).
- In her 2004 article, she found that treated HD patients exhibited significantly higher plasma total homocysteine levels compared to both control subjects and untreated HD patients.
- The research suggests a potential link between elevated homocysteine and neurodegeneration in HD, hypothesizing that homocysteine may contribute to the disease's progression through its interaction with the enzyme cystathionine beta-synthase, which is influenced by the Huntingtin protein.
