Incidental Lewy body disease and preclinical Parkinson disease.
BACKGROUND The significance of Lewy bodies detected at autopsy in the brains of clinically normal individuals is uncertain but may represent preclinical Parkinson disease (PD). OBJECTIVE To determine whether diminished striatal dopaminergic innervation and nigral cell loss are present in incidental Lewy body disease (iLBD), as one might expect if it is a forerunner of PD. DESIGN Case-contro...
متن کامل14-3-3 proteins in Lewy bodies in Parkinson disease and diffuse Lewy body disease brains.
Several components of Lewy bodies have been identified, but the precise mechanism responsible for the formation of Lewy bodies remains undetermined. The 14-3-3 protein family is involved in numerous signal transduction pathways and interacts with alpha-synuclein, which is a major constituent of Lewy bodies. To elucidate the role of 14-3-3 proteins in neuro-degenerative disorders associated with...
متن کاملAlterations in Olfaction during Alzheimer Disease, Parkinson Disease and Lewy Body Disease
Increasing interest is being shown in the link between olfaction, a complex sensory system, and cognition, particularly in the elderly. Olfaction is known to affect cognitive abilities and mood. In this article, we consider the impairment of olfactory function due to Alzheimer disease (AD), Parkinson disease (PD) and Lewy body disease (LBD), through pathological changes in the peripheral and ce...
متن کاملAlterations in peptide levels in Parkinson's disease and incidental Lewy body disease.
The levels of the neuropeptides Met- and Leu-enkephalin (MET-ENK, LEU-ENK), substance P and neurotensin were measured by a combined high performance liquid chromatography/radioimmunoassay (HPLC/RIA) method in postmortem samples of basal ganglia from Parkinson's disease patients, incidental Lewy body disease patients (pre-symptomatic Parkinson's disease) and matched controls. Dopamine (DA) level...
متن کاملEEG Findings in Diffuse Lewy Body Disease and Parkinson ́S Disease with Dementia
Objectives: Electroencephalography can still reveal a variety of focal abnormalities in different neurological diseases. EEG could represent an easy and economical tool to differentiate parkinsonisms when compare to neuroradiological studies. We want to report the EEG findings in a serie of diffuse lewy body disease and demented Parkinson ́s disease patients of our unit of movement disorders, in...
