Hypoxia as a therapy for Parkinson's disease! New study w/ Fumito Ichinose shows PD mice have brain hyperoxia. Chronic 11% FIO2 delays neurodegeneration and *reverses* motor symptoms. Might explain why PD can improve w/altitude (thin air) or smoking (CO). rdcu.be/ezw02

New findings from Vamsi Mootha and @fumitoichinose show low-oxygen air reverses Parkinson’s symptoms in mouse model, suggesting possible new way to treat this neurodegenerative disorder: a pill that mimics low oxygen. broad.io/Parkinsons-Oxy…
