Vitamin A potently destabilizes preformed α-synuclein fibrils in vitro: Implications for Lewy body diseases
Alpha-synuclein (αS) is the major component of the filamentous inclusions that constitute defining characteristics of Lewy body diseases (LBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). Clinically, antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E and the vitamin-like substance coenzyme Q10, have been used in the tre...
