Increased antioxidant enzyme activity in amyloid beta protein-resistant cells
15 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Clones of the rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 were selected for their resistance to amyloid beta protein (A beta). These A beta-resistant cells also survive higher concentrations of exogenously applied peroxides than the parent cells. A beta triggers intracellular H2O2 accumulation in the parent PC12 cells but not in the A beta-resistant cells. The absence of H2O2 accumulation in A beta-resistant cells is not...
