In b-amyloid (Ab)-induced neurotoxicity, activation of the NMDA receptor, increased Ca 2+ and oxidative stress are intimately associated with neuronal cell death as normally seen in NMDA-induced neurotoxicity. We have recently shown selective sparing of somatostatin (SST)-positive neurons and increased SST expression in NMDA agonist-induced neurotoxicity. Accordingly, the present study was undertaken to determine the effect of
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
