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 …

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 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 …

Trace elements have been postulated to play a role in Parkinson's disease (PD). In order to
elucidate whether changes in the serum levels of trace elements reflect the progression of …

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 …

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

We compared CSF and serum levels of iron, copper, manganese, and zinc, measured by
atomic absorption spectrophotometry, in 37 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and 37 …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with the absence of markers for
diagnosis. Several studies on PD reported the elements imbalance in biofluids as …

The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) still lacks objective diagnostic markers
independent of clinical criteria. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 36 PD and 42 age …

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 …
