Dissociation of Progressive Dopaminergic Neuronal Death and Behavioral Impairments by Bax Deletion in a Mouse Model of Parkinson's Diseases
17 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common, late-onset movement disorder with selective degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Although the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) has been used to induce progressive degeneration of DA neurons in various animal models of PD, the precise molecular pathway and the impact of anti-apoptotic treatment on this neurodegeneration are less...
