4 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Iron accumulation in basal ganglia accompanies neuronal loss in Huntington's disease (HD) patients and mouse disease models. Disruption of HD brain iron homeostasis occurs before the onset of clinical signs. Therefore, investigating the mechanism of iron accumulation is essential to understanding its role in disease pathogenesis. METHODS: N171-82Q HD transgenic mice brain iron was detected by using...
