The Beneficial Role of Thiamine in Parkinson Disease

Abstract: Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common form of neurodegeneration among elderly individuals. PD is clinically characterized by tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, and postural imbalance. In this paper, we review the evidence for an association between PD and thiamine. Interestingly, a significant association has been demonstrated between PD and low levels of serum thiamine, and thiamine supplements appear to have beneficial clinical effects against PD. Multiple studies have evaluated the connecti… Show more

“…Around 10% of the population had an inadequate vitamin B1 intake, which is an issue as studies suggest a relationship between thiamin and dopamine levels. A reduced dopamine release is associated with thiamin deficiency (32,33). Thiamin deficiency is associated with neuronal loss, and a decrease in the activity of thiamin-dependent enzymes has been demonstrated in neurodegenerative disorders, including PD (34).…”

“…Thiamin (also known as vitamin B1) is widely used in neuropharmacology. In particular, its administration causes a transient improvement in cognitive function of some patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) 1 2 3 4 5 . The importance of thiamin administration in elderly is supported by the fact that the levels of thiamin and its coenzyme form, thiamin diphosphate (ThDP), are decreased with age 6 .…”

“…These intestinal bacteria are prominent producers of SCFAs, such as butyrate as well as folate (vitamin B9) and thiamine (vitamin B1) which are important for maintenance of epithelial barrier function 71,72 . Interestingly, all of these SCFAs are associated with the amelioration of PD pathology [72][73][74] . For molecular mimicry in the pathophysiology of PD, Tobacco Mosaic virus (TMV) 43 has been implicated but needs more investigation to make absolute conclusion.…”
