Rotenone targets midbrain astrocytes to produce glial dysfunction-mediated dopaminergic neurodegeneration [PDF]
Exposure to pesticides, such as rotenone or paraquat, is an environmental factor that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Rotenone induces PD-like pathology and is therefore used to develop parkinsonian animal models.
