Resumo:
Parkinson's is a degenerative disease, slowly progressive and universal neurological disorder,
most commonly affecting individuals in middle age and elderly, being one of the first
neurodegenerative diseases to be treated with neurotransmitter replacement or even cerebral
incisor procedures. The objective of this research was to carry out a literature review,
highlighting the proposed treatments for the control of pathological advances, focusing on
influence of nutrients. Based on a bibliographical review of the literature, bouncing research
on digital platforms such as Scielo, MedLine, Science direct, Scopus and LILAC'S.
According to the data obtained, we can rebound that patient with Parkinson's presents neural
degeneration cells of the brainstem and nuclei of the base that contains monoamines, with
more emphasis on dopaminergic neurons and black substance, resulting in tremor, stiffness,
aminesia or bradykinesia in addition to other diseases that directly influence in social and
nutritional state of Parkinson's disease. It was observed the great capacity of the human body,
through the consumption of food directed to this pathology, to produce and metabolize these
neurotransmitters, besides being able to reduce the advances of the disease. Thus, it is
important to increase knowledge about the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease, as well as
on influence of nutrients to guarantee an improvement in the quality of life of these patients.
