Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is caused by point mutations or trinucleotide repeat expansions in both alleles of the gene encoding frataxin. Studies of frataxin homologues in lower eukaryotes suggest that mitochondrial iron accumulation may underlie the pathophysiology of FRDA. To evaluate the possible
## Abstract The etiology of Parkinson's disease remains unknown, and a search for environmental agents continues. In 1985, Fishman (10) induced infection of the basal ganglia by a coronavirus in mice. Although coronavirus is recognized primarily as a respiratory pathogen in humans, its affinity for
## Abstract We compared serum leptin and satiety measures in 18 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with unintended weight loss (WL) and 18 PD patients whose weight was stable (WS). Mean serum leptin concentrations tended to be lower in WL than WS patients, but this did not reach statistical signific
