Abstract
To mimic chronic exposure to neurotoxins in inducing dopaminergic cell damage, multiple doses of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) were injected in C57BL/6 mice. Effects of pre- and post-treatment with the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) by injections into the striatum were investigated. GDNF exerts protective and reverse effects on the dopaminergic damage, supporting the potential application of GDNF in prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease.Entities:
