Correlation of Tyrosine Hydroxylase, Orexin, and NFL Concentration with Parkinson's Disease

Abstract:
The research aimed to identify serum biochemical
variables that correlated to Parkinson's disease by the collection of 120 blood
samples from healthy patients males coming to Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital in
Mosul, from December to June 2023-2024, these samples were divided into several
groups, Parkinson group, donated symbol P that included (30) samples divided
into two subgroups according to age, P1 (50-65)years and P2 (66-80) years 15
blood sample for each, while Parkinson's family group donated symbol F,
included (30) samples aged between (25-50) years, in addition to the Control
group C that included (60) samples of Healthy people which divided into three subgroups,
C1 (50-65) years, C2 (66-80) years, and C3 subgroup (25-50) years. These groups
' biochemical serum markers tyrosine hydroxylase, orexin, and neurofilament
protein NFL had been compared. Results of this research showed a significant correlation
as TH enzyme concentration decreased in patients' serum with Parkinson's
disease in both groups P1, and P2 compared to the healthy group C1 and C2
(p≤0.01), also F group showed a significant decrease in the concentration of
this enzyme compared to the healthy group C3, Besides there was a substantial
difference in orexin hormone concentration level at probability level (p≤0.01))
in all groups, as hormone concentration decreased in P1subgroup patients
compared to healthy C1 patients of the same age group, and this decrease
increased in Parkinson's disease P2 patients compared to healthy C2. There was
a significant increase in the serum's concentration of NFL protein in the P1
subgroup compared to the healthy C1 subgroup at a probability level (P≤0.01).
