Abstract EN
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly, which is clinically characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, abnormal posture balance, and hypermyotonia.
Currently, the pathogenic mechanism of PD remains unclear.
Numerous clinical studies as well as animal and cell experiments have found a certain relationship between the vitamin family and PD.
The antioxidant properties of vitamins and their biological functions of regulating gene expression may be beneficial for the treatment of PD.
Current clinical evidence indicates that proper supplementation of various vitamins can reduce the incidence of PD in the general population and improve the clinical symptoms of patients with PD; nevertheless, the safety of regular vitamin supplements still needs to be highlighted.
Vitamin supplementation may be an effective adjuvant treatment for PD.
In this review, we summarized the biological correlations between vitamins and PD as well as the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
Additionally, we elaborated the therapeutic potentials of vitamins for PD.
