Brain Res 2024; 1839:149017. [PMID: 38768935 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.149017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex disorder, primarily of idiopathic origin, with environmental stressors like rotenone and manganese linked to its development. This study explores their potential interaction and resulting neurotoxicity, aiming to understand how environmental factors contribute to PD. In an eight-day experiment, male Wistar rats weighing 280-300 g were subjected to rotenone, manganese, or a combination of both. Various parameters were assessed, including body weight, behavior, serum markers, tissue damage, protein levels (tyrosine hydroxylase, Dopamine- and cAMP-regulated neuronal phosphoprotein -DARPP-32-, and α-synuclein), and mitochondrial function. Manganese heightened rotenone's impact on reducing food intake without causing kidney or liver dysfunction. However, the combined exposure intensified neurotoxicity, which was evident in augmented broken nuclei and decreased tyrosine hydroxylase and DARPP-32 levels in the striatum. While overall mitochondrial function was preserved, co-administration reduced complex IV activity in the midbrain and liver. In conclusion, our findings revealed a parallel toxic effect induced by rotenone and manganese. Notably, while these substances do not target the same dopaminergic regions, a notable escalation in toxicity is evident in the striatum, the brain region where their toxic effects converge. This study highlights the need for further exploration regarding the interaction of environmental factors and their possible impact on the etiology of PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. The primary pathological features of PD include the presence of α-synuclein aggregates and Lewy bodies, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. Recently, omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) have been under investigation as a preventive and/or therapeutic strategy for PD, primarily owing to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, the objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature, focusing on studies that assessed the effects of ω-3 PUFAs in rodent models mimicking human PD. The search was performed using the terms "Parkinson's disease," "fish oil," "omega 3," "docosahexaenoic acid," and "eicosapentaenoic acid" across databases PUBMED, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar. Following analysis based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 39 studies were included. Considering behavioral parameters, pathological markers of the disease, quantification of ω-3 PUFAs in the brain, as well as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic effects, it can be observed that ω-3 PUFAs exhibit a potential neuroprotective effect in PD. In summary, this systematic review presents significant scientific evidence regarding the effects and mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective properties of ω-3 PUFAs, offering valuable insights for the development of future clinical investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Morin is a flavonoid found in many edible fruits. The hippocampus and entorhinal cortex play crucial roles in memory formation and consolidation. This study aimed to characterize the effect of morin on recognition and space memory in healthy C57BL/6 adult mice and explore the underlying molecular mechanism. METHODS Morin was administered i.p. at 1, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg/24 h for 10 days. The Morris water maze (MWM), novel object recognition, novel context recognition, and tasks were conducted 1 day after the last administration. The mice's brains underwent histological characterization, and their protein expression was examined using immunohistochemistry and Western blot techniques. RESULTS In the MWM and novel object recognition tests, mice treated with 1 mg/kg of morin exhibited a significant recognition index increase compared to the control group. Besides, they demonstrated faster memory acquisition during MWM training. Additionally, the expression of pro-brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), BDNF, and postsynaptic density protein 95 proteins in the hippocampus of treated mice showed a significant increase. In the entorhinal cortex, only the pro-BDNF increased. Morin-treated mice exhibited a significant increase in the hippocampus's number and length of dendrites. CONCLUSION This study shows that morin improves recognition memory and spatial memory in healthy adult mice.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive movement disorder characterized by dopaminergic (DA) neuron degeneration and the existence of Lewy bodies formed by misfolded α-synuclein. Emerging evidence supports the benefits of dietary interventions in PD due to their safety and practicality. Previously, dietary intake of α-ketoglutarate (AKG) was proved to extend the lifespan of various species and protect mice from frailty. However, the mechanism of dietary AKG's effects in PD remains undetermined. In the present study, we report that an AKG-based diet significantly ameliorated α-synuclein pathology, and rescued DA neuron degeneration and impaired DA synapses in adeno-associated virus (AAV)-loaded human α-synuclein mice and transgenic A53T α-synuclein (A53T α-Syn) mice. Moreover, AKG diet increased nigral docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels and DHA supplementation reproduced the anti-α-synuclein effects in the PD mouse model. Our study reveals that AKG and DHA induced microglia to phagocytose and degrade α-synuclein via promoting C1q and suppressed pro-inflammatory reactions. Furthermore, results indicate that modulating gut polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism and microbiota Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group in the gut-brain axis may underlie AKG's benefits in treating α-synucleinopathy in mice. Together, our findings propose that dietary intake of AKG is a feasible and promising therapeutic approach for PD.

[PMID: 37173310 PMCID: PMC10182019 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01458-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
N1-Methyladenosine (m1A) is an abundant modification of transcripts, plays important roles in regulating mRNA structure and translation efficiency, and is dynamically regulated under stress. However, the characteristics and functions of mRNA m1A modification in primary neurons and oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) induced remain unclear. We first constructed a mouse cortical neuron OGD/R model and then used methylated RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) and sequencing technology to demonstrate that m1A modification is abundant in neuron mRNAs and dynamically regulated during OGD/R induction. Our study suggests that Trmt10c, Alkbh3, and Ythdf3 may be m1A-regulating enzymes in neurons during OGD/R induction. The level and pattern of m1A modification change significantly during OGD/R induction, and differential methylation is closely associated with the nervous system. Our findings show that m1A peaks in cortical neurons aggregate at both the 5' and 3' untranslated regions. m1A modification can regulate gene expression, and peaks in different regions have different effects on gene expression. By analysing m1A-seq and RNA-seq data, we show a positive correlation between differentially methylated m1A peaks and gene expression. The correlation was verified by using qRT-PCR and MeRIP-RT-PCR. Moreover, we selected human tissue samples from Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients from the Gene Expression Comprehensive (GEO) database to analyse the selected differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differential methylation modification regulatory enzymes, respectively, and found similar differential expression results. We highlight the potential relationship between m1A modification and neuronal apoptosis following OGD/R induction. Furthermore, by mapping mouse cortical neurons and OGD/R-induced modification characteristics, we reveal the important role of m1A modification in OGD/R and gene expression regulation, providing new ideas for research on neurological damage.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is usually diagnosed through motor symptoms that make the patient incapable of carrying out daily activities; however, numerous non-motor symptoms include olfactory disturbances, constipation, depression, excessive daytime sleepiness, and rapid eye movement at sleep; they begin years before motor symptoms. Therefore, several experimental models have been studied to reproduce several PD functional and neurochemical characteristics; however, no model mimics all the PD motor and non-motor symptoms to date, which becomes a limitation for PD study. It has become increasingly relevant to find ways to study the disease from its slowly progressive nature. The experimental models most frequently used to reproduce PD are based on administering toxic chemical compounds, which aim to imitate dopamine deficiency. The most used toxic compounds to model PD have been 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), which inhibit the complex I of the electron transport chain but have some limitations. Another toxic compound that has drawn attention recently is rotenone, the classical inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I. Rotenone triggers the progressive death of dopaminergic neurons and α-synuclein inclusions formation in rats; also, rotenone induces microtubule destabilization. This review presents information about the experimental model of PD induced by rotenone, emphasizing its molecular characteristics beyond the inhibition of mitochondrial complex I.

Abstract
Considering the central role of oxidative stress in the onset and progress of Parkinson's diseases (PD), search for compounds with antioxidant properties has attracted a growing body of attention. Here, we compare the neuroprotective effect of bulk and nano forms of the polyphenolic fraction of propolis (PFP) against rotenone-induced cellular and animal models of PD. Mass spectrometric analysis of PFP confirmed the presence of multiple polyphenols including kaempferol, naringenin, coumaric acid, vanillic acid, and ferulic acid. In vitro cellular experiments indicate the improved efficiency of the nano form, compared to the bulk form, of PFP in attenuating rotenone-induced cytotoxicity characterized by a decrease in cell viability, release of lactate dehydrogenase, increased ROS generation, depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane, decreased antioxidant enzyme activity, and apoptosis induction. In vivo experiments revealed that while no significant neuroprotection was observed relating to the bulk form, PFP nanosheets were very effective in protecting animals, as evidenced by the improved behavioral and neurochemical parameters, including decreased lipid peroxidation, increased GSH content, and antioxidant enzyme activity enhancement. We suggest that improved neuroprotective effects of PFP nanosheets may be attributed to their increased water solubility and enrichment with oxygen-containing functional groups (such as OH and COOH), leading to increased antioxidant activity of these compounds.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of disorders characterised by progressive loss of brain function. The most common of these is Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia. Intake of macro- and micro-nutrients impacts brain function, including memory, learning, mood, and behaviour. Lipids, particularly phospholipids and sphingolipids, are crucial structural components of neural tissues and significantly affect cognitive function. The importance of functional foods in preventing cardiovascular disease is well-documented in the current literature. However, the significance of such foods for central nervous system health and neurodegenerative diseases is less recognized. Gut microbiome composition affects cognitive health and function, and dietary lipids are known to influence gut health. Thus, this review will discuss different sources of dietary lipids and their effect on cognitive functioning and their interaction with the gut microbiome in the context of neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Since psychiatric disorders are associated with changes in the development of the nervous system, an energy-dependent mechanism, we investigated whether mitochondrial inhibition during the critical neurodevelopment window in rodents would be able to induce metabolic alterations culminating in psychiatric-like behavior. We treated male Wistar rat puppies (P) with rotenone (Rot), an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I, from postnatal days 5 to 11 (P5-P11). We demonstrated that at P60 and P120, Rot-treated animals showed hyperlocomotion and deficits in social interaction and aversive contextual memory, features observed in animal models of schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. During adulthood, Rot-treated rodents also presented modifications in CBP and CREB levels in addition to a decrease in mitochondrial biogenesis and Nrf1 expression. Additionally, NFE2L2-activation was not altered in Rot-treated P60 and P120 animals; an upregulation of pNFE2L2/ NFE2L2 was only observed in P12 cortices. Curiously, ATP/ADP levels did not change in all ages evaluated. Rot administration in newborn rodents also promoted modification in Rest and Mecp2 expression, and in synaptic protein levels, named PSD-95, Synaptotagmin-1, and Synaptophysin in the adult rats. Altogether, our data indicate that behavioral abnormalities and changes in synaptic proteins in adulthood induced by neonatal Rot administration might be a result of adjustments in CREB pathways and alterations in mitochondrial biogenesis and Nrf1 expression, rather than a direct deficiency of energy supply, as previously speculated. Consequently, Rot-induced psychiatric-like behavior would be an outcome of alterations in neuronal paths due to mitochondrial deregulation.

Contribution of DHA diols (19,20-DHDP) produced by cytochrome P450s and soluble epoxide hydrolase to the beneficial effects of DHA supplementation in the brains of rotenone-induced rat models of Parkinson's disease. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2020; 1866:158858. [PMID: 33279658 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2020.158858] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2020] [Revised: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 11/27/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been shown to have neuroprotective effects in Parkinson's disease, but the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. DHA is metabolized to DHA epoxides (EDPs) and hydroxides by cytochrome P450s (P450s), and EDPs are further hydroxylated to the corresponding diols, dihydroxydocosapentaenoic acids (DHDPs) by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). In the present study, we investigated the roles of these DHA metabolites in the beneficial effects of DHA supplementation on a rotenone-induced rat model of Parkinson's disease. Metabolite analysis by LC-MS revealed that CYP2A1, 2C11, 2C13, 2C23, and 2E1 contributed to the formation of EDPs, and these P450s and sEH were expressed in the rat brain. We found that DHA supplementation in rats improved the motor dysfunction induced by rotenone. In addition, DHA reversed the decrease in tyrosine hydroxylase and the increase in lipid peroxidation generated by rotenone in the striatum. DHA supplementation also induced mRNA expression of antioxidant genes, such as sod1 and catalase, and Nrf2 protein expression in the striatum. However, these effects of DHA supplementation were eliminated by cosupplementation with the sEH inhibitor TPPU. Supplementation with DHA increased the amount of 19,20-DHDP in the rat brain, while the amount of EDPs was not significantly increased. In addition, TPPU suppressed the increase in DHDPs and increased EDPs in the brain. In PC12 cells, 19,20-DHDP increased the mRNA levels of sod1 and catalase along with Nrf2 induction. This study suggests that DHA metabolites-DHDPs generated by P450s and sEH-have an important role in improving rotenone-induced Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disease. In recent years, several studies demonstrated that the gastroenteric system and intestinal microbiome influence central nervous system function. The pathological mechanisms triggered thereby change neuronal function in neurodegenerative diseases including dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson´s disease. In this study, we employed a model system for PD of cultured primary mesencephalic cells and used the pesticide rotenone to model dopaminergic cell damage. We examined neuroprotective effects of the Rho kinase inhibitor Fasudil and the short chain fatty acid (SCFA) propionic acid on primary neurons in cell morphological assays, cell survival, gene and protein expression. Fasudil application resulted in significantly enhanced neuritic outgrowth and increased cell survival of dopaminergic cells. The application of propionic acid primarily promoted cell survival of dopaminergic cells against rotenone toxicity and increased neurite outgrowth to a moderate extent. Interestingly, Fasudil augmented gene expression of synaptophysin whereas gene expression levels of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) were substantially increased by propionic acid. Concerning protein expression propionic acid treatment increased STAT3 levels but did not lead to an increased phosphorylation indicative of pathway activation. Our findings indicate that both Fasudil and propionic acid treatment show beneficial potential in rotenone-lesioned primary mesencephalic cells.

Nutraceuticals Targeting Generation and Oxidant Activity of Peroxynitrite May Aid Prevention and Control of Parkinson's Disease. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21103624. [PMID: 32455532 PMCID: PMC7279222 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21103624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 04/29/2020] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic low-grade inflammatory process in which activated microglia generate cytotoxic factors-most prominently peroxynitrite-which induce the death and dysfunction of neighboring dopaminergic neurons. Dying neurons then release damage-associated molecular pattern proteins such as high mobility group box 1 which act on microglia via a range of receptors to amplify microglial activation. Since peroxynitrite is a key mediator in this process, it is proposed that nutraceutical measures which either suppress microglial production of peroxynitrite, or which promote the scavenging of peroxynitrite-derived oxidants, should have value for the prevention and control of PD. Peroxynitrite production can be quelled by suppressing activation of microglial NADPH oxidase-the source of its precursor superoxide-or by down-regulating the signaling pathways that promote microglial expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Phycocyanobilin of spirulina, ferulic acid, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, good vitamin D status, promotion of hydrogen sulfide production with taurine and N-acetylcysteine, caffeine, epigallocatechin-gallate, butyrogenic dietary fiber, and probiotics may have potential for blunting microglial iNOS induction. Scavenging of peroxynitrite-derived radicals may be amplified with supplemental zinc or inosine. Astaxanthin has potential for protecting the mitochondrial respiratory chain from peroxynitrite and environmental mitochondrial toxins. Healthful programs of nutraceutical supplementation may prove to be useful and feasible in the primary prevention or slow progression of pre-existing PD. Since damage to the mitochondria in dopaminergic neurons by environmental toxins is suspected to play a role in triggering the self-sustaining inflammation that drives PD pathogenesis, there is also reason to suspect that plant-based diets of modest protein content, and possibly a corn-rich diet high in spermidine, might provide protection from PD by boosting protective mitophagy and thereby aiding efficient mitochondrial function. Low-protein diets can also promote a more even response to levodopa therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurological disorder whose pathogenesis involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons and dopamine terminals, formation of Lewy bodies, and microgliosis. Its treatment includes dopamine-based drugs with limited results and adverse effects. Additionally, some neuroleptic drugs used for mental disorders produce side effects referred to as parkinsonism. Dietary interventions with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA) have attracted attention since they play a key role in most of the processes associated with PD etiology. OBJECTIVE The purpose of our work was to investigate the effects of an ω-3 PUFA rich algal oil on locomotive alterations induced by haloperidol and D2 receptor protein and gene expression in Wistar rats. METHODOLOGY Pre- and co-supplementation of algal oil (300 mg of ω-3 FA/kg/day for six weeks) and haloperidol (1.5 mg/kg/day for two weeks) were evaluated. RESULTS Haloperidol provoked locomotive alterations in the Open Field Test and a 43% diminution in D2 receptor in brain membranes; in pre-supplemented rats a 93% increase in D2 receptor protein expression and a partial maintenance of locomotory performance were observed, while in co-supplemented rats D2 receptor protein expression was maintained as in control rats, although locomotive behavior was found diminished as in haloperidol rats. CONCLUSIONS These results confirm the beneficial effects of ω-3 PUFA over locomotory alterations and as neuroprotective and neurorestorative compounds and demonstrates a stimulatory action on D2 receptor presence, as a mechanism by which these fatty acids participate in brain health.

Proteome alterations associated with the oleic acid and cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid content in bovine skeletal muscle. J Proteomics 2020; 222:103792. [PMID: 32335295 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2020.103792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2020] [Revised: 04/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Oleic acid (OA) and cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (c9t11-CLA) are fatty acids found in beef with beneficial effects in human health. This study investigated differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) in skeletal muscle of bovines with extreme values of OA, and c9t11-CLA. For each one of the fatty acids, twenty muscle samples were divided into two groups (N = 10_High; N = 10_Low) and analyzed by high definition mass spectrometry. We identified 103 and 133 DAPs between the groups for each fatty acid. We found 64 and 45 up-regulated and 39 and 68 down-regulated proteins for OA and c9t11-CLA, respectively. Comparative analysis between proteomic and transcriptomic data revealed eight and ten genes with a consistent between mRNA expression levels and protein abundance for OA and c9t11-CLA, respectively. Unconventional myosin-Id (MYO1D), mineralocorticoid receptor (NR3C2), geranylgeranyl transferase type-2 subunit-alpha (RABGGTA), and uveal autoantigen with coiled-coil domains and ankyrin repeats (UACA) were found as putative candidate proteins for OA content. Fatty acid synthase (FASN), tubulin alpha-4A chain (TUBA4A), vinculin (VCL), NADH dehydrogenase 1 alpha subcomplex 5 (NDUFA5), and prefoldin subunit 6 (PFDN6) for c9t11-CLA. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind the regulation of the OA and c9t11-CLA content in cattle skeletal muscle. SIGNIFICANCE: Questions about the association between meat intake and disease incidence in humans has driven animal scientist to pursue a better understanding of the biological processes associated with differences in the intramuscular fat composition. The beneficial effects of oleic acid and conjugated linoleic acid in human health have been demonstrated by improving the immune system and preventing atherosclerosis, different types of cancers, hypertension, and diabetes. Previous genome-wide association and gene expression studies identified genomic regions and differentially expressed genes associated with the fatty acid profile in skeletal muscle. In this work, differences were evaluated at the protein level. The use of a label-free quantitative proteomic approach, compared with muscle transcriptome results obtained by RNA-sequencing, allowed us to earn new insights into the variability in fatty acid deposition in skeletal muscle of farm animals. This study opens new avenues to explore the effect of the fatty acids in the skeletal muscle of livestock animals, which is associated with nutritional values of the meat, and perhaps to understand the mechanisms correlated with metabolic diseases in other species.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, have common features: protein accumulation, cell death with mitochondrial involvement and oxidative stress. Patients are treated to cure the symptoms, but the treatments do not target the causes; so, the disease is not stopped. It is interesting to look at the side of nutrition which could help prevent the first signs of the disease or slow its progression in addition to existing therapeutic strategies. Lipids, whether in the form of vegetable or animal oils or in the form of fatty acids, could be incorporated into diets with the aim of preventing neurodegenerative diseases. These different lipids can inhibit the cytotoxicity induced during the pathology, whether at the level of mitochondria, oxidative stress or apoptosis and inflammation. The conclusions of the various studies cited are oriented towards the preventive use of oils or fatty acids. The future of these lipids that can be used in therapy/prevention will undoubtedly involve a better delivery to the body and to the brain by utilizing lipid encapsulation.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons from the nigrostriatal pathway, formation of Lewy bodies, and microgliosis. During the past decades multiple cellular pathways have been associated with PD pathology (i.e., oxidative stress, endosomal-lysosomal dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and immune response), yet disease-modifying treatments are not available. We have recently used genetic data from familial and sporadic cases in an unbiased approach to build a molecular landscape for PD, revealing lipids as central players in this disease. Here we extensively review the current knowledge concerning the involvement of various subclasses of fatty acyls, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterols, and lipoproteins in PD pathogenesis. Our review corroborates a central role for most lipid classes, but the available information is fragmented, not always reproducible, and sometimes differs by sex, age or PD etiology of the patients. This hinders drawing firm conclusions about causal or associative effects of dietary lipids or defects in specific steps of lipid metabolism in PD. Future technological advances in lipidomics and additional systematic studies on lipid species from PD patient material may improve this situation and lead to a better appreciation of the significance of lipids for this devastating disease.
