Retrograde Axonal Degeneration in Parkinson Disease
In spite of tremendous research efforts we have not yet achieved two of our principal therapeutic goals in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD), to prevent its onward progression and to provide restoration of systems that have already been damaged by the time of diagnosis. There are many possible reasons for our inability to make progress. One possibility is that our efforts thus far may n...
متن کاملRetinal ganglion cell axonal compression by retinal vessels in light-induced retinal degeneration
PURPOSE To analyze the damage produced by light in mydriatic and miotic albino retinas under two different sources of light. METHODS Albino Sprague Dawley female rats were exposed to 3,000 lx during 48 h under two different light sources: linear and circular bulbs. Before exposure, their left pupils were dilated. Before and at different times after light exposure (ALE), electroretinographic s...
متن کاملMutations in a P-Type ATPase Gene Cause Axonal Degeneration
Neuronal loss and axonal degeneration are important pathological features of many neurodegenerative diseases. The molecular mechanisms underlying the majority of axonal degeneration conditions remain unknown. To better understand axonal degeneration, we studied a mouse mutant wabbler-lethal (wl). Wabbler-lethal (wl) mutant mice develop progressive ataxia with pronounced neurodegeneration in the...
متن کاملNeurological dysfunction and axonal degeneration in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A), the most frequent form of CMT, is caused by a 1.5 Mb duplication on the short arm of chromosome 17. Patients with CMT1A typically have slowed nerve conduction velocities (NCVs), reduced compound motor and sensory nerve action potentials (CMAPs and SNAPs), distal weakness, sensory loss and decreased reflexes. In order to understand further the molecul...
متن کاملAxonal Degeneration in Tauopathies: Disease Relevance and Underlying Mechanisms
Tauopathies are a diverse group of diseases featuring progressive dying-back neurodegeneration of specific neuronal populations in association with accumulation of abnormal forms of the microtubule-associated protein tau. It is well-established that the clinical symptoms characteristic of tauopathies correlate with deficits in synaptic function and neuritic connectivity early in the course of d...
