The Protective Effect of Minocycline in a Paraquat-Induced Parkinson's Disease Model inDrosophilais Modified in Altered Genetic Backgrounds
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies link the herbicide paraquat to increased incidence of Parkinson's disease (PD). We previously reported that Drosophila exposed to paraquat recapitulate PD symptoms, including region-specific degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Minocycline, a tetracycline derivative, exerts ameliorative effects in neurodegenerative disease models, including Drosophila. We investigated whether our...
