## Abstract Oxygen consumption and enzyme activity were evaluted in platelet mitochondria from 17 patients with Parkinson's disease. In comparison with ageβmatched controls, no consistent abnormality could be discerned in complex I, complex IIβIII, or complex IV oxygen consumption, or in the enzyme
Recently, it was reported that parkinsonlan patients exhibit mitochondrial abnormalhies which might be related to the production of either endogenous or exogenous toxins. We, thus, assessed possible inhibitory effects of dopamine-related compounds on mitochondrial respiration in rat brain. We found
## Abstract In the majority of cases, mitochondrial disorders are multisystem conditions that most frequently affect the skeletal muscle, followed by the central nervous system. One of the clinical manifestations of central nervous system involvement is Parkinson's syndrome (PS). Evidence for an as
## Abstract The reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide coenzyme Q reductase (complex I) activity has recently been shown to be deficient in the substantia nigra of patients dying with Parkinson's disease. This biochemical defect is identical to that produced by the neurotoxin 1βmethylβ4β
