Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to play an important role in glutamate-induced neuronal cell death. In the present study, we examined whether NADPH oxidase serves as a source of ROS production and plays a role in glutamate-induced cell death in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. Stimulation of the cells with glutamate (100 mM) induced apoptotic cell death and increase in the level of ROS, and these...
