Parkinson's Protein Linked to Faster Alzheimer's Progression in Women
(MedPage Today) -- Alzheimer's brain changes progressed up to 20 times faster in women with Alzheimer's and alpha-synuclein co-pathology compared with men, a cohort study showed. In participants across the Alzheimer's disease continuum, a significant...
Protein linked to Parkinson's may drive faster Alzheimer's disease progression in women
Alzheimer's-related brain changes progressed up to 20 times faster in women who also had abnormal levels of a Parkinson's-related protein, according to a Mayo Clinic study published in JAMA Network Open.
The [[LINK:TAGtag633618d559a61a391e0a1593neurodegenerative diseases] such as [LINK:TAGtag633619ebecd56e3616932648parkinson]] or [LINK:TAGtag6336116aecd56e361693185falzhéimer] could have a different evolution in men and women due to metabolic issues. This is reflected in a new scientific research that lays the foundations on the gender influence on the progression of these pathologies.
Alzheimer-related brain changes progressed up to 20 times faster in women who also had abnormal levels of a Parkinson-related protein, according to a Mayo Clinic (United States) study published in JAMA Network Open. The same pattern was not observed in men.The findings suggest that when alpha-synuclein, a protein related to Parkinson's disease, accumulates along with Alzheimer's pathology, it can accelerate the progression of the disease in wome…
An analysis with brain and fluid images shows that the combined presence of alpha-synuclein and tau is associated with a much faster progression of Alzheimer's in women, opening up new avenues for research and clinical care Read more How alpha-synuclein can accelerate tau accumulation in women with Alzheimer's in News.es.
