Correlated levels of cerebrospinal fluid pathogenic proteins in drug-naïve Parkinson’s disease
Published 2019“…<h3>Background and aim</h3><p dir="ltr">Toxic oligomeric α-synuclein (αS; O-αS) has been suggested to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Lewy body diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of αS, O-αS, total and phosphorylated tau, and amyloid β 1–42 (Aβ1–42) are thought to reflect the pathophysiology or clinical symptoms in PD. …”
