Advances in research on the relationship between diabetes and Parkinson's disease / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases,characterized by progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons.Diabetes is one of its common comorbidities,because both are affected by genetic factors and various environmental factors,as well as remarkably similar dysregulated pathways.The relationship between the two is receiving more and more attention.In particular,application of hypoglycemic drugs in Parkinson's disease has become a research hotspot in recent years.This article reviews the clinical features of Parkinson's disease and diabetes,the clinical features of Parkinson's disease with diabetes,and the application of hypoglycemic agents in Parkinson's disease.
