Prenatal exposure to the bacteriotoxin lipopolysaccharide leads to long term losses of dopamine neurons in offspring a potential new model of parkinson s disease

1 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt

The cause of Parkinson's disease (PD) is currently unknown. Although a genetic cause has been implicated in familial PD, the vast majority of cases are considered idiopathic. Environmental toxins have been implicated as a cause for PD by many investigators.
