Abstract EN
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder.
The majority of cases do not arise from purely genetic factors, implicating an important role of environmental factors in disease pathogenesis.
Well-established environmental toxins important in PD include pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals.
However, many toxicants linked to PD and used in animal models are rarely encountered.
In this context, other factors such as dietary components may represent daily exposures and have gained attention as disease modifiers.
Several in vitro, in vivo, and human epidemiological studies have found a variety of dietary factors that modify PD risk.
Here, we critically review findings on association between dietary factors, including vitamins, flavonoids, calorie intake, caffeine, alcohol, and metals consumed via food and fatty acids and PD.
We have also discussed key data on heterocyclic amines that are produced in high-temperature cooked meat, which is a new emerging field in the assessment of dietary factors in neurological diseases.
While more research is clearly needed, significant evidence exists that specific dietary factors can modify PD risk.
