RE: Neurology #1 : World Parkinson's Day

in #steemstem7 years ago

Very great post and I had to check out your blog and I’ll have to say you’ve been doing an excellent job. I had to look at the causes of Parkinson’s disease from an anatomical amd physiological POV on your post and you’ve also introduced a little biochemistry. Job well done.

However, why are men more likely to have Parkinson’s than women ?

Sort:  

Thank you so much !! I've done some readings and apparently there are a few theories regarding it. It could be the fact that estrogen has some protective effects towards parkinson's. Some suggested that males are more prone to get brain injury, hence higher chance to develop parkinsonism which is similar to muhammad ali's case.

Oh great then. Good work once again
