Cholesterol, Parkinson's disease

Scientists Just Found a Cholesterol Clue That Could Change Parkinson’s Treatment
A breakthrough study has uncovered a hidden player in Parkinson’s disease—24-OHC, a cholesterol metabolite that fuels the spread of harmful protein clumps in the brain. Researchers found that high levels of this metabolite accelerate neuron damage and motor dysfunction,
Cholesterol by-product linked to Parkinson’s disease
Chinese scientists say preventing cholesterol from being converted to 24-OHC might be an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease. The post Cholesterol by-product linked to Parkinson’s disease appeared first on Talker.
Cholesterol Metabolite Implicated in Parkinson’s Disease Pathology
Researchers suggest drugs that prevent cholesterol from being converted to 24-OHC might therefore be an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease.

Cholesterol linked to Parkinson's Disease in major new study
Their study shows that the by-product, called Hydrocholesterol 24-OHC or 24-OHC, is responsible for the formation of Lewy bodies and the death of dopaminergic neurons in the brain - the two major ...
