- •
Various risk factors may interact to precipitate presymptomatic Parkinson’s disease.
- •
We investigated the interaction between α-synuclein and the pesticide, rotenone.
- •
Dual exposure to α-synuclein and rotenone precipitated Parkinsonism in rats.
- •
Rats exposed to both factors had profound motor dysfunction and neurodegeneration.
- •
This highlights the importance of these interactions in Parkinson’s disease.
