GardeninA confers neuroprotection against environmental toxin in a Drosophila model of Parkinson’s disease
5 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Parkinson's disease is an age-associated neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons from the midbrain. Epidemiological studies have implicated exposures to environmental toxins like the herbicide paraquat as major contributors to Parkinson's disease etiology in both mammalian and invertebrate models. We have employed a paraquat-induced Parkinson's disease model in...
