Abstract

Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most common movement disorders. However, there are currently no accepted biomarkers for ET. This report suggested that concentration of plasma glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and taurine could be biomarkers for ET.

Keywords: amino acid; aspartic acid; essential tremor; glutamic acid; taurine.
