Diet and Antioxidants
A low-calorie diet may help to reduce the risk of PD. A team from the U.S. National Institute on Aging found a long-term reduction in caloric intake protects rhesus monkeys from developing the disease; they also had higher levels of a growth factor, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), which may protect brain cells from destruction.
The role of dietary antioxidants has been examined in the etiology of PD. According to the oxidative stress model, an increase in antioxidants prevents damage and death to the dopaminergic cells by scavenging more free radicals. Epidemiological studies examining the association between antioxidant consumption, including vitamin E, C, and A, have not shown a consistent role.
Vitamin B6 is essential for the metabolism of protein and for brain function. In a study of more than 5000 people, Dutch researchers found those who reported taking in the most vitamin B6 were approximately half as likely to develop PD as those who consumed the least of this vitamin.
High levels of the amino acid homocysteine can damage brain cells. To see whether a higher intake of folate and vitamins B6 and B12, which can reduce homocysteine levels, also reduced the risk of PD, researchers followed 5289 men and women ages 55 and older. The researchers found no association between the consumption of B12 or folic acid and the risk of developing the disease; however, the more B6 people consumed, the lower their risk of PD
