Decreased circulating Zinc levels in Parkinson’s disease: a meta-analysis study

Abstract There is no consensus on the involvement of zinc (Zn) dysfunctions in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate whether circulating Zn levels in the serum, plasma, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are altered in PD. Twenty-three published studies were selected by searc...
