Abstract excerpt
A mechanistic link between cellular energetic defects and the pathogenesis of Huntington's disease (HD) has long been hypothesized based on the cardinal observations of progressive weight loss in patients and metabolic defects in brain and muscle. Identification of respiratory chain deficits in HD postmortem brain led to the use of mitochondrial complex II inhibitors to generate acute toxicity models that...
