formic acid and Parkinson Disease

formic acid has been researched along with Parkinson Disease in 4 studies

formic acid: RN given refers to parent cpd
formic acid : The simplest carboxylic acid, containing a single carbon. Occurs naturally in various sources including the venom of bee and ant stings, and is a useful organic synthetic reagent. Principally used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in livestock feed. Induces severe metabolic acidosis and ocular injury in human subjects.

Parkinson Disease: A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Rotenone treatment caused an acute reduction in alpha-synuclein-immunoreactivity, but this was followed 6 months later by a robust increase in aggregate pathology and cytoplasmic inclusions that were similar in appearance to enteric Lewy-bodies in idiopathic PD."1.35Chronic rotenone exposure reproduces Parkinson's disease gastrointestinal neuropathology.
