Literature review and meta-analysis of environmental toxins associated with increased risk of Parkinson's disease - PubMed
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and leading cause of death worldwide, whose pathogenesis has been linked to toxic environmental exposures. We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (i) to compile, and group by exposure …

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Genetic and Non-Genetic Parkinson's Disease - PubMed
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis, contributing to increased oxidative stress and impaired endo-lysosomal-proteasome system efficiency underlying neuronal injury. Genetic studies have identified 19 monogenic mutations-accounting for ~10% of PD cases-tha …

Oral Trehalose Intake Modulates the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis and Is Neuroprotective in a Synucleinopathy Mouse Model - PubMed
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal and gastrointestinal tracts, causing both motor and non-motor symptoms. This study examined the neuroprotective effects of trehalose. This sugar is confined in the gut due to the absence of tr …

Aging-Associated Amyloid-β Plaques and Neuroinflammation in Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and Novel Cognitive Health-Supporting Roles of Pentadecanoic Acid (C15:0)
Aging-Associated Amyloid-β Plaques and Neuroinflammation in Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and Novel Cognitive Health-Supporting Roles of Pentadecanoic Acid (C15:0)
There is an urgent need to identify interventions that broadly target aging-related cognitive decline and progression to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) have histologic changes similar to AD in humans, and they also develop shared age-associated co-morbidities identified as risk factors for AD in humans, including type 2 diabetes, ferroptosis, and iron overload, which can be driven by nutritional C15:0 deficiency. We hypothesized that (1) dolphins would have amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and neuroinflammation that paralleled that of humans in relation to age-related progression, quantitative concentration, and brain region; and (2) C15:0 would have dose-dependent activities relevant to protecting cognitive health. Quantitative immunohistochemistry staining was used to assess 68 tissues from archived brains of 19 Navy dolphins to evaluate associations among amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and neuroinflammation by brain region, sex, and age group. Further, dose-dependent C15:0 activities, using a third-party panel intended to screen for potential AD therapeutics, were evaluated. Similar to humans, dolphins had the highest Aβ plaque density variation in the hippocampus (90th percentile of 4.95 plaques/mm2), where plaque density increased with age (p = 0.05). All measured markers of neuroinflammation were detected, including the highest concentrations of activated microglia (CD68+) in the hippocampus (0.46 ± 0.38 cells/mm2). C15:0 was a dose-dependent inhibitor of two targets, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (IC50 2.5 µM, 89% maximum inhibition at 50 µM relative to URB597) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) (IC50 19.4 µM, 70% maximum inhibition at 50 µM relative to R(-)-Deprenyl). These activities have demonstrated efficacy against Aβ formation and neuroinflammation, including protection of cognitive function in the hippocampus. These findings suggest that, in addition to protecting against AD co-morbidities, C15:0 may play a distinct role in supporting cognitive health, especially at higher concentrations.
