Abstract excerpt
Nerve growth factor (NGF) prevents apoptosis induced by the oxidant peroxynitrite in undifferentiated PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells. Previous studies have shown that activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) by NGF via the TrkA receptor tyrosine kinase protects PC12 cells from s...
