α-Synuclein Regulates Peripheral Insulin Secretion and Glucose Transport

α-Synuclein Regulates Peripheral Insulin Secretion and Glucose Transport

AimPopulation based studies indicate a positive association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) where there is an increased risk of developing PD in patients with T2D. PD is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of intraneuronal aggregated α-synuclein (α-syn) in Lewy bodi...
