Abstract:
:Immunoblotting studies on mitochondria prepared from the striata of patients who died of Parkinson's disease were performed using specific antisera against Complexes I, III and IV. In 4 out of 5 patients with Parkinson's disease, the 30-, 25- and 24-kDa subunits of Complex I were moderately to markedly decreased. No clear difference was noted in immunoblotting studies on subunits of Complexes III and IV between the control and Parkinson's disease. Deficiencies in Complex I subunits seem to be one of the most important clues to elucidate pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.
