[Neurodegenerative alterations induced by MPTP neurotoxin in senescence accelerated mice essay].
Behavioral modifications and alterations in biochemical pathways induced by neurotoxin MPTP in Senescence Accelerated Mice (SAM) brains are discussed. MPTP injections lead to specific injuries of dophaminergic neurons and to reinforcement of oxidative stress conditions. The ability of neuropeptide carnosine to protect animals from oxidative injuries induced by MPTP injections is also described.
