简要总结

This study is looking for healthy controls and patients with Parkinson's (PD) to perform an MR scan.

  1. The neurochemical profile of the SN of patients with PD as measured by high field MRS will differ from that of healthy controls, in that glutathione will be lower due to oxidative stress, lactate will be higher due to mitochondrial dysfunction, the gliosis markers myo-inositol and glutamine will be higher due to inflammation (glial activation) and N-acetylaspartate and glutamate will be lower due to neuronal loss/damage.
  2. There will be a relationship between neurochemical changes and disease severity.

结局指标

主要结局

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)

时间窗: Baseline

We will utilize optimized magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) methodology to address theories of pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) by quantifying glutathione (GSH), lactate, glutamine and myo-inositol levels of the unilateral substantia nigra (SN) of healthy volunteers and patients with PD.
