In conclusion, the present data confirm the tendency of mitochondria to overexpress mRNA in PD, which could be a cellular attempt to reduce apoptotic damage in PD subjects. Humanin might be useful as a marker for a better diagnosis of PD, and we cannot exclude that in the future it might also play a role on prognosis and in the possible therapies for PD.
