Scientists discover new cause of Parkinson's disease
Frequent use of commonly used antibiotics is associated with an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. This is evidenced by the results of a study published by MedicalXpress, conducted by scientists from the Helsinki University Hospital.
The study showed that the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, as well as drugs directed against fungi and anaerobic bacteria, contributes to an increase in the risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
In a significant proportion of patients suffering from the disease, pathology can manifest itself in the intestine and precede the onset of symptoms such as sluggishness, tremors and muscle rigidity, according to research team leader Philip Scheperjans. The specialist noted that people with Parkinson's disease have an abnormal bacterial composition of the intestines, specifying that it was not possible to establish the cause of this pattern before. Scheperian noted that his team's study found that widely used antibiotics have a significant impact on the gut microbiota and may be related to this anomaly.
Earlier in the US, scientists described a possible root cause of cancer. In the publication, experts discussed the mechanism by which bacterial infections can be the cause of various cancers.
