Stimulation of growth-hormone release with clonidine does not distinguish individual cases of idiopathic Parkinson's disease from those with striatonigral degeneration.

abstract：:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Sirtuins are highly-conserved, NAD-dependent class III deacetylases that regulate a variety of cellular functions.
