Default Another WOW: Reduced axonal transport in Parkinson's disease cybrid neurites is res

This is another wow in my book, particularly in light of recent indications that there is an axonal transport problem in PD: here's the link for the full article:

Default came right in

....to see your wow and i'm wowing too. i'd like to know if anyone else ever feels this way. sometimes i feel like i'm just going to stop. it's a very strange feeling and i ask myself where would i go? it's not dizziness; i don't feel like i am going to faint, just stop. it's a blank feeling. no breathing trouble or pain. this lack of transport made me think of that.

thanks,
paula

If I remember correctly, axonal transport is like the Chunnel under the English Channel with two tubes running in opposite directions. These transport, among other things, material needed to manufacture neurotransmitters. If they are slowed down....

I have been reading up on mitochondrial function just by coincidence. There are several things that boost their function. One is the combination of acetyl-L-carnitine and alpha-lipoic-acid. Another is creatine. And yet a third is methylene blue. All three of these are championed by Dr. Bruce Ames, a sort of elder statesman in the field and the reason that I happened to be reading about those three.

This is what I have been trying to tell you guys....

Synapsin is an axonal transport protein.
Gliadin antibodies bind to synapsin in gluten sensitive individuals.
