(Newswire.net — December 2, 2020) Orlando, FL — Parkinson’s disease undeniably affects more and more people today. The good news is that there are many scientists who are investigating this condition to find its cure.
A new study reveals that an experimental gene therapy for Parkinson’s disease appears to work. This is due to its ability to rewire key brain areas.
In this study, the investigators looked into 15 individuals with Parkinson’s disease. In a previous trial, these subjects received so-called GAD gene therapy. It is worth noting that this enzyme called GAD spurs the production of a certain brain chemical involved in movement control.
This previous trial has shown there were improvements in the movement problems of the subjects after getting infusions of the GAD gene into the brain.
According to Dr. David Eidelberg, it has not yet known why it happens.
Eidelberg directs the Center for Neurosciences at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, in Manhasset, N.Y.
The findings of this research were published in Science Translational Medicine.
Today, individuals who suffer from Parkinson’s disease are receiving medications and therapies. It is important to understand that some studies have found certain remedies may aid in fighting the condition.
Some studies reveal that nutrients like vitamin B12 could work wonders in slowing the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
A study was published in the Movement Disorders journal.
In this research, the investigators reveal that vitamin B12 and homocysteine levels predict different outcomes in early Parkinson’s disease.
It is important to remember that reduced levels of vitamin B12 in individuals with early stages of Parkinson’s disease are associated with faster motor and cognitive decline. The investigators suggest that vitamin B12 supplementation may aid in delaying its symptoms.
Previous studies have shown that a deficiency in this nutrient is quite common in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. It is worth realizing that its deficiency could promote the onset of neurological and motor symptoms linked with Parkinson’s.
These include depression, paranoia, muscular numbness, and weakness.
In the study, the researchers from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) looked into the levels of B12 in 680 individuals diagnosed recently with Parkinson’s disease. It is mentioning that the subjects had not started treatment yet.
They found that in individuals with reduced B12 levels, symptoms developed more rapidly than the subjects with higher levels.
More studies are still being carried out to explore more of the therapeutic goodness of B12. However, it remains true that its increased intake is highly recommended. Today, there are supplements highly recommended for individuals who want to nourish their bodies with this nutrient.
