Israeli scientists from the University of Ben Gurion found a clear relationship between type II diabetes and the propensity to develop Parkinson's disease.
For some time, doctors and neurologists have suggested that people with diabetes are more likely to develop neurodegenerative diseases than non -diabetic individuals, but could not prove their hypothesis.Now, Israeli scientists from the University of Ben Gurion in Israel in the Neguev found a clear relationship between type II diabetes and the propensity to develop Parkinson's disease.
For a three-year period, Dr. Yifat Miller and his postdoctoral student Yoav ASMON-RAZ tried to explain how type II diabetes, also known as late start diabetes, could affect the body in a way that would make it more susceptible to developinga neurodegenerative disease.
While with problems such as stroke, a heart attack, blindness and renal diseaseneurodegenerative.At present, Miller's revolutionary discovery could make sense of the deadly connection between diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
The key component to discover the lost link between diseases was a new observation, made by Miller and ASMON-RAZ, in relation to Parkinson's disease.
Based on his research on previous studies, Miller discovered that a hormone can cause Parkinson in patients with diabetes.
Miller first revealed the mechanism of the formation of lumps in the brain that leads to Parkinson's disease.
