Abstract:The aetiology of neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's disease, is still unknown. There could be a complex interplay among altered energy metabolism, excitotoxicity and oxidative stress. Our aim was to examine the effects of intrastriatal injection of a selective inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase, 7-nitroindazole, and a non-specific potent nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, Nw-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, in order to study the possible involvement of glutathione, an imp… Show more
