Mitochondrial complex I inhibition is not required for dopaminergic neuron death induced by rotenone, MPP <sup>+</sup> , or paraquat
23 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of mitochondrial complex I is one of the leading hypotheses for dopaminergic neuron death associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). To test this hypothesis genetically, we used a mouse strain lacking functional Ndufs4, a gene encoding a subunit required for complete assembly and function of complex I. Deletion of the Ndufs4 gene abolished complex I activity in midbrain mesencephalic neurons cultured...
