BackgroundAn alteration of autophagy and mitophagy, two highly conserved lysosome-dependent degradation pathways involved in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, has been associated with multiple sclerosis (MS).ObjectiveTo search the level of autophagy-related 5 (ATG5) and Parkin proteins, as markers of autophagy and mitophagy respectively, and lactate in a cohort of MS patients.MethodsCerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples from 60 MS patients were analyzed: 30 with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of disease activity, gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agent positive (Gd+), and 30 without MRI evidence of disease activity (Gd-). ATG5, Parkin, and lactate were measured using commercially available products.Results and conclusionsSerum levels of ATG5, Parkin, and lactate were more elevated in Gd+ than in Gd- MS patients (p
