Excessive early-life dietary exposure: a potential source of elevated brain iron and a risk factor for Parkinson’s disease
Abstract Iron accumulates gradually in the ageing brain. In Parkinson’s disease, iron deposition within the substantia nigra is further increased, contributing to a heightened pro-oxidant environment in dopaminergic neurons. We hypothesise that individuals in high-income countries, where cereals and...
