This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), provides $191,234 to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. over the period of August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030. The funding supports research to examine the role of gastric dopaminergic signaling and gastrointestinal mucosal injury in Parkinson's disease. Key objectives include investigating dopamine signaling pathways in gastric mucosal biopsies, correlating these findings with gastric emptying and motor symptoms, and studying the impact of upregulated gastric AADC enzyme on levodopa bioavailability. This research aims to elucidate the pathophysiological gut disturbances in Parkinson's disease and their influence on motor symptoms, with potential to improve morbidity and enable early interventions.
