Abstract excerpt
In early adult-onset Huntington's disease (HD), enkephalinergic striatopallidal projection neurons show preferential loss, reduced preproenkephalin (PPE) expression in surviving striatopallidal neurons, and loss of fibers in their projection target area. We examined PPE and PPT (preprotachykinin) gene expression in striatal projection neurons and in striatal projection fibers immunoreactive for the PPE product...
