Journal ArticleDOI

Brain-derived growth factor and nerve growth factor concentrations are decreased in the substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: The present data indicate that the lack of neurotrophins, especially BDNF, may be involved in the pathogenesis of PD during progress of neurodegeneration of the nigrostriatal DA neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increase of deleted mitochondrial DNA in the striatum in Parkinson's disease and senescence.

TL;DR: Results indicate that age-related accumulation of deleted mtDNA is accelerated in the parkinsonian striatum and suggest that the deletion contributes to pathophysiological processes underlying Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caspase activities and tumor necrosis factor receptor R1 (p55) level are elevated in the substantia nigra from parkinsonian brain.

TL;DR: The present data suggest the presence of a proapoptotic environment in the substantia nigra of parkinsonian brain, probably inducing vulnerability of neurons and glias towards a variety of noxious factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative determination of deleted mitochondrial DNA relative to normal DNA in parkinsonian striatum by a kinetic PCR analysis

TL;DR: The results indicate that phenotype of the mutant mtDNA as Parkinson's disease is expressed when the proportion of deleted mtDNA to normal mtDNA exceeds a threshold of ten times higher value than in the normal subject.
