Taking Exenatide, a diabetes medication increases motor skills than placebo for Parkinson’s disease treatment. The drug could stop decline in Parkinson’s patients rather than providing solution to the symptoms.
The drug activates hormone receptors in the pancreas to stimulate the release of insulin for diabetes patients. But the same receptors exist in the brain, activating them can boost dopamine function and stop inflammation in Parkinson’s disease.
Damage to cells that produced dopamine leads to Parkinson’s disease, preventing the damage could stop the development of the disease.
Parkinson’s patients that used exanatite drug had improved motor function - measures like tremors, agility and speech while those who took the placebo are not getting better.
