BackgroundGiven the increasing global prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and its complex etiopathogenesis, understanding the role of environmental factors is crucial. Prior investigations suggested a potential link between metal exposure and PD, yet conflicting results emerged.ObjectiveTo identify differences in metal concentrations in whole blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in PD patients compared to controls.MethodsThe study involved an untreated de novo PD patient cohort from a single-center (n = 102, 38% females, mean age 59.5 (SD 12.5)) and a group of controls with comparable age and sex distribution (n = 127, 35% females, mean age 57.5 (SD 12.4)). Whole blood in all participants and CSF samples in a subgroup (n = 57/55 PD/controls) were collected and concentrations of V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Sn, Hg, and Pb, were determined through inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.ResultsPD patients exhibited higher concentrations of Hg in both blood and CSF (p = 0.003). Cr concentrations were lower in both blood (p = 0.004) and CSF (p < 0.001) of PD patients. Altered Fe metabolism was evident, with higher blood (p = 0.001) and lower CSF (p = 0.002) Fe concentrations. Other metal alterations in PD included higher Zn (p = 0.008) in blood and lower Co (p < 0.001), Mn (p = 0.006), V (p = 0.009), and Ni (p < 0.001) in CSF.ConclusionsThe findings highlight abnormalities in metal concentrations in biofluids associated with PD, particularly regarding Hg, Cr, and Fe which exhibited alterations in blood and CSF. These findings suggest metal dysregulation in PD, particularly Hg, Cr, and Fe, with potential implications for understanding PD pathogenesis.
