Nerve disease can have its roots in the nose and gut. The researchers assert that this is also the explanation for the various patterns.

It is considered one of the world's A rapidly developing brain diseaseEveryone knows how Parkinson's disease manifests itself. Due to the lack of dopamine in the brain, nerve cells die, habitual muscle tremors occur, and as a result, movement restrictions occur. The caused However, this is not clarified. Researchers suspect that low dopamine production may be the cause Toxic effects induced from outside.

But she is directly into the brain through the nose Or first into the body through the intestines Further travel into the brain is unclear. A new study published in the journal Journal of Parkinson's Disease Released, now combines two build models. Different pathways may also explain the different forms of Parkinson's.

Researchers from Rochester Medical Center (USA) and Aarhus University Hospital (Denmark) suggest Parkinson's disease. To redefinemeaning “together systemic disease, “Its roots may be in the nose and gut and are related to environmental factors.”

Is it because of cleaning products and drinking water?

Parkinson's researchers are increasingly looking at environmental factors Important contributors, “if the disease has no cause”. The authors of the study believe it is possible to inhale certain pesticides, common chemical cleaning agents and air pollution. Others Ingested toxinsSpoiled food and contaminated drinking water can cause Parkinson's disease in the body in the first place. Both the nose and gut are equipped with permeable mucous membranes—and both have good connections with the brain.

The latter diffusion pathway is also relevant Lewy body dementia Related to a disease from the Parkinson's family, it affects well-known people among others Actor Robin Williams Little.

New models aim to improve understanding

The study results are now due to be published Better understanding Contributes to brain diseases. However, the mentioned environmental toxins are widespread, so the authors emphasize Not everyone gets Parkinson's disease. The timing, dose and duration of exposure to these, as well as interactions with genetic factors and other environmental toxins, “may be important in determining who ultimately develops Parkinson's disease.” In most cases, people may already be sick years or decadesBefore symptoms appear, etc Stress will emerge.
