Is there any correlation between the symptoms of Lyme disease and Parkinson's disease? by Connie b. Dellobuono
Answer by Connie b. Dellobuono:
No. Recent studies suggest that the neurodegeneration that occurs in Parkinson's disease is a result of stress on the endoplasmic reticulum in the cell rather than failure of the mitochondria as previously thought, according to a study in fruit flies. It was found that the death of neurons associated with the disease was prevented when chemicals that block the effects of endoplasmic reticulum stress were used.
