Recent Advancements in Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease

The treatment of this condition is currently centered on dopaminergic tone in the corpus striatum of the brain since a shortfall in dopamine stimulation of these neurons is thought to be responsible for the motor features of PD. The reason for this shortfall is the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (specifically, the […]

Monitoring the relationship between Endothelial Lipase and HDL by NMR

The protective effects of HDL are linked to the enzyme paraoxonase 1 (PON1), which catalyzes anti-oxidative reactions through its arylesterase (AE) activity. Furthermore, 95% of PON1 found in the serum is bound to HDL through the formation of an HDL-PON1 complex. This complex is partially regulated by the phospholipase endothelial lipase (EL). This enzyme hydrolyzes
