Age‐Dependent Vulnerability of the Striatum to the Mitochondrial Toxin 3‐Nitropropionic Acid
1 Jan 1993
Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms of delayed onset and cell death in Huntington's disease (HD) are unknown. One possibility is that a genetic defect in energy metabolism may result in slow excitotoxic neuronal death. Therefore, we examined the effects of age on striatal lesions produced by local administration of the mitochondrial toxin 3-nitropropionic acid in rats. In vivo chemical shift magnetic resonance imaging showed marked...
