## Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder, with a prevalence of more than 1% after the age of 65 years. Mutations in the gene encoding leucine‐rich repeat kinase‐2 (__LRRK2__) have recently been linked to autosomal dominant, late‐onset PD that is cl

## Abstract To investigate the frequency of mutations in the Leucine‐Rich Repeat Kinase 2 gene (__LRRK2__) in a sample of Austrian Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, we sequenced the complete coding region in 16 patients with autosomal dominant PD. Furthermore, we sequenced exons 31, 35, and 41 add
To study the possible role of the isoenzymes of cyclooxygenase COX-1 and COX-2 in the MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) mouse model of Parkinson's disease we used acetylsalicylic acid, a COX-1/COX-2 inhibitor, in comparison with meloxicam, a preferential COX-2 inhibitor. As markers
## Abstract Our study aimed to determine whether riluzole, which has shown efficacy as a disease‐modifying agent in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is neuroprotective in a marmoset model of Parkinson's disease (PD). Reduction of energy demand by riluzole could be a rational neuroprotective str
PHNO, a naphthoxazine compound, was investigated in animal models of central dopaminergic activity. The drug in doses of 5-300 micrograms/kg when administered subcutaneously, or transdermally, induced stereotypic behavior in rats which was blocked by haloperidol but not by reserpine pretreatment. In
## Abstract Mutations in the leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (__LRRK2__) gene have been shown to cause autosomal dominant and sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). We report here the frequency of a common heterozygous mutation, 2877510G>A, which produces a glycine‐to‐serine amino acid substitution at cod
