Octadecaneuropeptide prevents toxicity induced by 6-hydroxydopamine in cultured rat astrocyte: involvement of the endogenous antioxidant systems and the intrinsic apoptotic pathway
2018-02-19
Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress, associated with various neurodegenerative diseases, induces imbalance in ROS generation, impairs cellular antioxidant defences and finally triggers both neurons and astroglial cell death by apoptosis. Astrocytes specifically synthesize and release endozepines, a family of regulatory peptides, including the octadecaneuropeptide (ODN). We have previously reported that ODN is a potent neuroprotectiv...
