Striatal oxidative damage parallels the expression of a neurological phenotype in mice transgenic for the mutation of Huntington's disease.

Abstract excerpt

We examined the degree of oxidative damage to the brain of mice transgenic for the mutation responsible for Huntington's disease. We found that there is a progressive increase in striatal lipid peroxidation (LP), that parallels the worsening of the neurological phenotype. We consider that these transgenic mice may provide an interesting system to test treatments aimed at protecting cells from damage induced by...
