摘要
The cause of Parkinson's disease remains unknown although some evidence suggests that an inflammatory reaction, mediated by cytokines such as TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta, is related with dopaminergic degeneration in the brain. In the present work we measured the plasma levels of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta in parkinsonian monkeys one year after MPTP administration. TNF-alpha levels were seen to have increased in parkinsonian monkeys reflecting the clinical symptoms observed, while IL-1 beta levels remained unchanged. These results suggest that TNF-alpha plays a role in sustaining of dopaminergic degeneration in chronic parkinsonism. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
