Abstract excerpt
Lipid metabolism has emerged as a key factor in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). While 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, has been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer disease, its role in PD remains unexplored. Given the shared pathological features between these neurodegenerative disorders (such...
