Obesity and the development of Parkinson's disease within the Framingham Heart study cohort.
Clin Park Relat Disord
December 2024
Boston University, School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA.
Objective: To determine the role of obesity in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD).
Background: Obesity has been reported to be both a risk factor for PD, as well as potentially protective. The Framingham Heart Study (FHS) is a multigenerational longitudinal cohort study that was started in 1948, which is well-known for its cardiovascular health studies.
Preclinical and clinical study on type 3 metabotropic glutamate receptors in Parkinson's disease.
NPJ Parkinsons Dis
January 2025
Department of Molecular Pathology, IRCCS Neuromed, Pozzilli, Italy.
Metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are candidate drug targets for therapeutic intervention in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we focused on mGlu3, a receptor subtype involved in synaptic regulation and neuroinflammation. mGlu3 mice showed an enhanced nigro-striatal damage and microglial activation in response to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP).

BMC Neurol
January 2025
Department of Public Health, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, No.1, University Road, Tainan City, 701, Taiwan.
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) exerts a considerable burden on the elderly. Studies on long-term costs for Parkinson's disease patients in Taiwan are not available.
Objectives: This study aims to examine the medical resource utilization and medical costs including drug costs for PD patients in Taiwan over up to 15 years of follow-up.
PD-like pathogenesis induced by intestinal exposure to microplastics: An in vivo study of animal models to a public health survey.
J Hazard Mater
December 2024
School of Medicine, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, China. Electronic address:
With the increasing incidence of non-hereditary Parkinson's disease (PD), research into the involvement of specific environmental factors, in addition to aging, has become more prominent. The effects of microplastic exposure on public health have gained increased attention as it is known to cause a range of neurotoxic changes, some of which are similar to the pathological features of PD. We carried out low-dose microplastic exposure experiments on mice and Caenorhabditis elegans models and implemented a survey regarding the utilization of plastic products in the population.

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a ROCO family member which its mutation is closely related with Parkinson's disease, and LRRK2 is widely involved into the regulation of autophagy, vesicle transport and neuronal proliferation. However, the roles of LRRK2 during mammalian oocyte maturation are still largely unclear. In present study, we disturbed the activity of LRRK2 and showed its essential roles in porcine oocytes.
