Gut Microbiota and Metabolome Alterations Associated with Parkinson’s Disease
ABSTRACT Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of intracellular aggregates of misfolded alpha-synuclein along the cerebral axis. Several studies report the association between intestinal dysbiosis and Parkinson’s disease, although a cause-effect relati...

ABSTRACT Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of intracellular aggregates of misfolded alpha-synuclein along the cerebral axis.
