Kainate-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress contributes to hippocampal degeneration in senescence-accelerated mice.
- Published 2008 in Cellular signalling
Abstract
We have demonstrated that kainate (KA) induces a reduction in mitochondrial Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) expression in the rat hippocampus and that KA-induced oxidative damage is more prominent in senile-prone (SAM-P8) than senile-resistant (SAM-R1) mice. To extend this, we examined whether KA seizure sensitivity contributed to mitochondrial… (More)
