Abstract excerpt
Impaired lipid metabolism is a risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and can shift the physiological α-synuclein (αS) tetramer-monomer (T:M) ratio toward aggregation prone monomers. A resultant increase in phospho-serine 129+ αS monomers associating with excess mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids contributes to the αS aggregation. We previously reported that decreasing the...
