6-Hydroxydopamine induces mitochondrial ERK activation [PDF]
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) injury to catecholaminergic neurons; however, the mechanism(s) are unclear. In addition to ROS generated during autoxidation, 6-OHDA may initiate secondary cellular sources of ROS that contribute to toxicity.

Tetraspanin (TSP-17) Protects Dopaminergic Neurons against 6-OHDA-Induced Neurodegeneration in C. elegans [PDF]
Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease, is linked to the gradual loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra.

Nrf2-mediated protection against 6-hydroxydopamine [PDF]
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder characterized by cell loss in the substantia nigra resulting in striatal dopamine depletion. Although the cause of sporadic PD is unknown, oxidative stress is thought to contribute to disease pathogenesis. One mechanism by which cells defend themselves against oxidative stress is through

The hepatic sympathetic nerve plays a critical role in preventing Fas induced liver injury in mice [PDF]
Background: Although previous studies have shown that the hepatic sympathetic nerve controls various physiological functions in the liver, the role of this nerve in liver injury has yet to be clarified.Aims: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the

Circadian Rhythm Abnormalities in Parkinson's Disease from Humans to Flies and Back [PDF]
Clinical and research studies have suggested a link between Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD) and alterations in the circadian clock. Drosophila melanogaster may represent a useful model to study the relationship between the circadian clock and PD.

Beyond antioxidants: the cellular and molecular interactions of flavonoids and how these underpin their actions on the brain [PDF]
The consumption of flavonoid-rich foods and beverages has been suggested to limit the neurodegeneration associated with a variety of neurological disorders and to prevent or reverse normal or abnormal deteriorations in cognitive performance.

Intermittent theta-burst stimulation rescues dopamine-dependent corticostriatal synaptic plasticity and motor behavior in experimental parkinsonism. Possible role of glial activity. [PDF]
Background: Recent studies support the therapeutic utility of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in Parkinson's disease (PD), whose progression is correlated with loss of corticostriatal long-term potentiation and long-term depression.
