Elevated Levels of Methylmalonate and Homocysteine in Parkinson's Disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [PDF]

, 2010
Background/Aims: Increasing evidence suggests that elevated levels of homocysteine (Hcy) and methylmalonate (MMA) may be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Methods: The urine levels of MMA and serum levels of Hcy as well as folic

Seasonal variations of 25-OH vitamin D serum levels in Multiple Sclerosis patients with relapse using MRI

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2019
An increasing body of evidence suggests that low vitamin D (25-[OH]-D) concentrations is linked to increased activity in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and MS relapse.

Investigating the Association Between Serum Vitamin D Deficiency and Idiopathic Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

International Clinical Neuroscience Journal, 2020
Background: It is suggested that there is a positive association between vitamin D deficiency and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). We suggest, as a hypothesis, there is a positive association between vitamin D deficiency and BPPV. The current

Klotho pathways, myelination disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and epigenetic drugs [PDF]

, 2020
In this review we outline a rationale for identifying neuroprotectants aimed at inducing endogenous Klotho activity and expression, which is epigenetic action, by definition. Such an approach should promote remyelination and/or stimulate myelin repair by

Vitamin D concentration and focal brain atrophy in older adults: a voxel‐based morphometric study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2020
Vitamin D is involved in brain health and function. Our objective was to determine whether lower 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentration was associated with focal brain volume reduction in older adults.
