Gut Microbiota and Disorders of the Central Nervous System

TL;DR: An overview of the possible involvement of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in the pathogenesis of diseases of the central nervous system is provided, with a special focus on key issues and common misjudgments on the potential contribution of specific microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkinson's Disease and the Gut: Future Perspectives for Early Diagnosis.

TL;DR: Detailed analyses of patient biopsies and autopsies as well as animal models of neuropathological changes characteristic of PD provided important information on the pathology or treatment of PD symptoms, but presently is not clarified the specific tissue in the GIT where the pathological processes associated with PD is initiated.

Involvement of Enteric Glia in Small Intestine Neuromuscular Dysfunction of Toll-Like Receptor 4-Deficient Mice.

TL;DR: Findings show the involvement of EGCs in the alterations of ENS architecture and in the increased purinergic and nitrergic-mediated relaxation, determining gut dysmotility in TLR4−/− mice.

Leaky gut, dysbiosis, and enteric glia activation: the trilogy behind the intestinal origin of Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Recent evidence showing enteric glia involvement triggering intestinal neuroinflammation in the asymptomatic stage of Parkinson's disease is summarized and improvements in the therapeutic approach that could be achieved by targeting these glial cells are summarized.

Diet and medical foods in Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: High quality randomized controlled trials need to be conducted in order to evaluate whether these food-based strategies have symptomatic efficacy or the potential to delay the progression of PD.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method

TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.

Accuracy of clinical diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a clinico-pathological study of 100 cases.

TL;DR: The pathological findings in 100 patients diagnosed prospectively by a group of consultant neurologists as having idiopathic Parkinson's disease are reported, and these observations call into question current concepts of Parkinson's Disease as a single distinct morbid entity.

Staging of brain pathology related to sporadic Parkinson’s disease

TL;DR: This study traces the course of the pathology in incidental and symptomatic Parkinson cases proposing a staging procedure based upon the readily recognizable topographical extent of the lesions.

Reactive microglia are positive for HLA‐DR in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease brains

TL;DR: The detected large numbers of HLA-DR-positive reactive microglia (macrophages) in the substantia nigra of all cases studied with Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism and suggest a frequent coexistence of DAT- and Parkinson-type pathology in elderly patients.
