Lithium Protects the PD-Brain?
A recent study from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in California found that the drug lithium greatly prevented the buildup of toxic proteins and brain cell loss linked to Parkinson's disease. The results, found using laboratory mice, were published in last month’s issue of the Journal of Neuroscience Research.
Previous animal studies have also demonstrated lithium’s neuroprotective effect in regards to Huntington's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Investigators at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging have started preclinical studies to determine the proper lithium dosage for humans, and hope to soon initiate Phase II clinical trials in conjunction with Parkinson's disease.
