Mitochondrial inhibitor 3‐nitroproprionic acid enhances oxidative modification of alpha‐synuclein in a transgenic mouse model of multiple system atrophy
29 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by autonomic failure, parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia, and oligodendrocytic accumulation of alpha-synuclein (alphasyn). Oxidative stress has been linked to neuronal death in MSA and the mitochondrial toxin 3-nitropropionic acid (3NP) is known to enhance the motor deficits and neurodegeneration in transgenic mice models of MSA....
