By Traci Pedersen Associate News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on December 12, 2014 People who suffer from Parkinsons disease (PD) have a different set of microbiota in their intestines than those without the disease, according to a new study conducted by the University of Helsinki and the Helsinki University Central Hospital. The researchers hope that these new findings on gut bacteria will lead to the development of a diagnostic test for PD; they could also pave the road for the development of better treatment strategies, and possibly even prevention. In the U.S., approximately one million people suffer from PD, which results in the gradual loss of cells responsible for the production of dopamine, a neurochemical transmitter essential for movement coordination. Our most important observation was that patients with Parkinsons have much less bacteria from the Prevotellaceaefamily; unlike the control group, practically no one in the patient group had a large quantity of bacteria from this family, says DMSc Filip Scheperjans, neurologist at the Neurology Clinic of the Helsinki University Hospital (HUCH). The researchers are still trying to figure out why there is a lack ofPrevotellaceaebacteria in Parkinsons and what this actually means. Do these bacteria carry a … Continue reading
