“A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that there is a correlation between Alzheimer's disease, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Inflammation, a downstream consequence of insulin resistance, promotes the formation of reactive oxygen species and other damaging molecules, which can enter the brain via the lymphatic system.”

“The relationship between repetitive blows to the head (as in boxing) and parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease is well established. However, scientists don't fully understand the relationship between American football and these conditions.”

“Parkinson's disease is characterized by motor neuron dysfunction, resulting in tremors, muscle rigidity, and movement difficulties. However, some people with the disease may also experience depression and cognitive impairment.”

“Primates that receive direct injections of BDNF into the cerebrospinal fluid show marked improvements in motor function. Monkeys that received injections containing BDNF experienced a slower progression of Parkinson's disease symptoms than those injected with a placebo.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that mitophagy is compromised in Parkinson's disease and promotes the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria. Impaired mitophagy likely contributes to the aggregation of misfolded proteins, which in turn impairs mitochondrial homeostasis.”

“Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease Berberine elicits variable effects on the pathogenic processes involved in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.”

“Coffee is a powerful ally in preserving brain health and function. It's not just a powerful stimulant. Regular coffee consumption significantly lowers the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's—by about 34–37%.”

“Overall, women with the highest activity levels had a 25 percent lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease than those with the least activity, even after considering other risk factors. These findings suggest that exercise protects women against Parkinson's disease.”

“Once inside the brain, contaminants may trigger immune cells to release cytokines, which drive neuroinflammation. Exposure to airborne pollutants may increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.”

“A new report shows how an antioxidant compound found in sesame seeds, called sesaminol, can protect cells from oxidative damage and prevent the development of Parkinson's disease. Oxidative stress is a main driver of cell damage and aging and is the result of normal cellular metabolism.”
