Default Wonder if the cure for Parkinsons.......

.......can be found using a similar theory that Toronto doctors discovered could help cure diabetes.

http://news.monstersandcritics.com/h...abetes_advance

TORONTO, ON, Canada (UPI) -- Researchers in Canada said they identified the role pain nerves in insulin-producing cells may play in preventing and reversing diabetes in mice.

The work 'led us to fundamentally new insights into the mechanisms of this disease,' Michael Salter, of Toronto`s Hospital for Sick Children and a co-lead investigator, said in a news release.

Researchers said they learned that pain receptors don`t secrete enough chemical elements found in the brain to keep insulin-producing pancreatic islets working normally. By supplying the chemical element to diabetic-prone mice, 'the research group learned how to treat the abnormality ... and even reversed established diabetes,' Salter said.

Researchers were tracking links between Type 1 diabetes and the nervous system when they found what they said was a control circuit between the islets that produce insulin and associated pain nerves. This circuit keeps the islets operating normally. When they investigated further, researchers found specific sensory neurons didn`t secrete enough neuropathies to sustain normal functions, which in essence, created stress.

The researchers extended the studies to Type 2 diabetes. They said they believed treating the islet-sensory nerve circuits could normalize insulin resistance.
