1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in LRRK2 are among the most frequent genetic changes identified in Parkinson's disease (PD), but how LRRK2 contributes to the pathophysiology of PD is not known. OBJECTIVES: To investigate how expressing wild-type or G2019S LRRK2 modifies cellular responses to rotenone, a mitochondrial toxin. METHODS: We investigated the vulnerability to mitochondrial toxins in Caenorhabditis elegans...
