Paraquat induces dopaminergic dysfunction and proteasome impairment in DJ-1-deficient mice
31 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) may be caused by a complex interaction of environmental insults and genetic susceptibilities. Previous studies of DJ-1-deficient mice have noted dopaminergic dysfunction mainly in older mice. To simulate the interaction of genetic factors and environmental factors, we treated DJ-1-deficient mice with paraquat. Even in relatively young mice, this combination produced dopamine loss and...
