Abstract excerpt
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Here, we examined the effects of antioxidants on 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP; a mitochondrial complex II inhibitor)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death in STHdhQ111 striatal cells carrying homozygous mutant HTT with extended CAG repeats compared with those in STHdhQ7...
