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 metabolism byproduct linked to Parkinson's disease
Researchers led by Zhentao Zhang at Wuhan University, China have discovered a cholesterol metabolite that plays a critical role in the development of Parkinson's disease in mice. Published in the journal PLOS Biology,
Cholesterol metabolite linked to Parkinson's disease development in mice
Researchers led by Zhentao Zhang at Wuhan University, China have discovered a cholesterol metabolite that plays a critical role in the development of Parkinson's disease in mice.
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 Metabolite Linked To Parkinson's Disease Progression, Study Finds
A groundbreaking study by researchers at Wuhan University, China, has identified a cholesterol metabolite that plays a crucial role in the progressio
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.
Blocking Cholesterol Metabolite May Prevent Parkinson's Disease Progression
Researchers led by Zhentao Zhang at Wuhan University, China have discovered a cholesterol metabolite that plays a critical role in the development of Parkinson's disease in mice.
