Mitochondrial dysfunction is recognized as being an important mechanism through which Parkinson’s disease (PD) can arise. In particular, decrease of mitochondrial complex 1 (MCI) activity in dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra (SN) has been observed in PD; however, its role in the pathogenesis of PD remains unclear.1, 2 Mitochondrial protection or rescue therapies are potential approaches through which disease modification of PD may be achieved in the future.
