Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor Protects Striatal Neurons against Excitotoxicity by Enhancing Glial Glutamate Uptake
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a potent neuroprotective cytokine in different animal models of glutamate-induced excitotoxicity, although its action mechanisms are still poorly characterized. We tested the hypothesis that an increased function of glial glutamate transporters (GTs) could underlie CNTF-mediated neuroprotection. We show that neuronal loss induced by in vivo striatal injecti...
متن کاملA study on striatal local electrical potential changes in an animal model of Parkinson's disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that does not develop spontaneously in some animal species. PD can be induced experimentally in some laboratory animals including mouse, rat and horse. Globus pallidus (GP) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) are damaged in patients with PD. The hallmark of PD is a progressive impaired control of movement, an alteration of autonomic ...

متن کاملDifferential loss of striatal projection neurons in Huntington disease.
Huntington disease (HD) is characterized by the loss of striatal projection neurons, which constitute the vast majority of striatal neurons. To determine whether there is differential loss among different populations of striatal projection neurons, the integrity of the axon terminal plexuses arising from the different populations of substance P-containing and enkephalin-containing striatal proj...
متن کاملBetamethasone Can Significantly Decrease Level of Striatal Glutamate in Animal Model of Parkinson's Disease
In the present study, the effect of steroidal anti-inflammatory drug betamethasone (0.12, 0.24 mg/kg, i.p. acutely) on striatal glutamate level in Parkinsonian rats was studied using the microdialysis technique. Our results showed significant differences (p
