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

Clinical evidence and the recent decisions of the European Medicines Agency and the Food and Drug Administration challenge the safety of thiazolidinediones treatment. Recently, this treatment has been suggested for Friedreich's ataxia because thiazolidinediones improve neurological symptoms. Hypertr
## Abstract A recent report indicated an association between the spinocerebellar degeneration of Friedreich's ataxia and abnormal fatty acid profiles of the cholesterol ester fraction in both total plasma and highβdensity lipoprotein. In an effort to substantiate these findings in lipoproteins, we
