Parkinson's disease (PD) may be one of the most baffling and complex of the neurological disorders. Its cause remains a mystery but research in this area is active, with new and intriguing findings constantly being reported. Research into the etiology of PD has focused mainly on toxins that inhibit mitochondrial respiration. A definitive neuropathological diagnosis of PD requires loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and related brainstem nuclei and the presence of Lewy bodies ...

	Clinical features of mitochondrial disease in a family Journal of Pediatric Neurology ; Abstract. Mitochondrial disorders, once thought to be relatively rare, are now thought to he the most prevalent metabolic disease. They represent a challenge to clinicians, especially in children, in whom clinical presentation and course show enormous variation. We report a respiratory chain enzyme
