Inflammation in Parkinson's Disease (review)
Abstract： Parkinson's disease is a common progressive neurodegenerative disorder among old people, characterized by progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and accordingly low level of dopamine in the nigrostriatal path-way. Neuroinflammation and even systemic inflammation have been suggested to be involved in the demise of dopaminergic neurons. An-ti-inflammatory treatment could protect brain from inflammatory injury and prevent the progressive course of Parkinson's disease, which suggests a potential new strategy for Parkinson's disease treatment.
