Background Parkinson's disease is affecting about 1% of the population above 65 years.
Improvements in medicine support prolonged lifetime which increases the total …

Quantifications of Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Si and Zn were performed in urine, serum, blood
and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 26 patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD) and 13 …

To ascertain the potential role of chemical elements (namely, Al, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr,
Cu, Fe, Hg, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Si, Sn, Sr, Tl, V, W, Zn and Zr) as markers in the …

Background The objective of this pilot study was to assess iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn),
and manganese (Mn) status (hair, serum, and urine) and speciation (serum) in Parkinson's …

BACKGROUND: Involvement of metals in the risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD)
has been suggested. In the present study, concentration of metals in cerebrospinal fluid …

To assess whether levels of trace metals and oxidative species are involved in Parkinson's
disease (PD), Al, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and V were measured in urine, serum, blood …

Background: Transition metals play a crucial role in brain metabolism: since they exist in
different oxidation states they are involved in ROS generation, but they are also co-factors of …

The large number of patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's
disease and Parkinson's disease motivates many research groups worldwide to investigate …

We measured the levels of some biological metals: copper (Cu), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg),
manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with …

Abstract Background: Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and the Parkinsonian syndrome
caused by manganese (Mn) poisoning are known to be indistinguishable in terms of …
