Environmental Exposures and Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions around the world. The Braak hypothesis proposes that in PD a pathologic agent may penetrate the nervous system via the olfactory bulb, gut, or both and spreads throughout the nervous system. The agent is unknown, but several environmental exposures have been associated with PD. Here, we summarize and examine the evidence for such environmental exposures...
متن کاملPrenatal environmental exposures, epigenetics, and disease.
This review summarizes recent evidence that prenatal exposure to diverse environmental chemicals dysregulates the fetal epigenome, with potential consequences for subsequent developmental disorders and disease manifesting in childhood, over the lifecourse, or even transgenerationally. The primordial germ cells, embryo, and fetus are highly susceptible to epigenetic dysregulation by environmenta...
متن کاملCross-sectional associations between residential environmental exposures and cardiovascular diseases
BACKGROUND Prior research examining neighbourhood effects on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has focused on the impact of neighbourhood socio-economic status or a few selected environmental variables. No studies of cardiovascular disease outcomes have investigated a broad range of urban planning related environmental factors. This is the first study to combine multiple neighbourhood influences i...
متن کاملCardiovascular disease and environmental exposure.
This paper reviews the possible association between cardiovascular disease and occupational and environmental agents. The effects of carbon monoxide, fibrogenic dusts, carbon disulphide, heavy metals, noise, radiation, heat, cold, solvents and fluorocarbons are discussed. New directions for investigation are suggested.
متن کاملEpigenetics and environmental exposures.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that genetic factors are inadequate to fully explain many processes that shape development and disease. For example, monozygotic twin pairs, despite sharing identical DNA sequences, are often discordant for many traits and diseases, indicating that the same genotype can give rise to distinct phenotypes. This points towards the involvement of additional facto...
