It is a slowly progressing disease of the nervous system thatresults in progressive destruction of brain cells neurons inan area of the brain called the substantia nigra. Death occursusually as a result of secondary complications such asinfection. One of the mechanisms known to destroy neurons is damage by freeradicals or reactive oxygen species - destructive moleculesproduced by oxidation of the neurotransmitter dopamine. The Role of DopamineThe cells of the substantia nigra use dopamine - a chemicalmessenger between brain or nerve cells - to communicate withcells in another region of the brain called the striatum. When nigral cells are lost, nigral dopamine levels fall,resulting in a decrease in striatal dopamine. The typical symptoms of PD - motor function deficienciescharacterized by muscle rigidity, jerky movements, rhythmicresting tremors - ...]]></content:encoded>
