摘要
The nervous system plays a key role in the regulation of neuroendocrine axes and, in turn, the released neurohormones modulate the activity of different brain regions. Neurodegenerative diseases, which are known to affect specific neuronal populations, may provoke neuroendocrine dysfunctions that alter the intimate relationship between both systems. In addition, these modifications may influence the progression of the neurodegenerative process. In the present review, we summarise some of the endocrine changes characterising three major neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Special attention is focused on the contribution of disease transgenic models to elucidate such alterations. Copyright (C) 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel.
