Increased Activity of Tyrosine Hydroxylase Leads to Elevated Amphetamine Response and Markers of Oxidative Stress in Transgenic Mice
2017-09-13
Abstract excerpt
In Parkinson’s disease, noradrenergic cells of the locus coeruleus and dopamine cells within the nigrostriatal pathway undergo profound degeneration. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the production of all catecholamines, including dopamine and noradrenaline, and is selectively expressed in the cells that produce these neurotransmitters. In vitro studies have previously shown that the TH-sy...
