METHODS The literature on PARK and non-PARK loci/genes was reviewed and some novel information on two new genes is provided....
متن کاملAlterations in expression of messenger RNAs encoding two isoforms of glutamic acid decarboxylase in the globus pallidus and entopeduncular nucleus in animals symptomatic for and recovered from experimental Parkinsonism.
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65, GAD67) mRNA expression was measured in the globus pallidus (GP) and entopeduncular nucleus (ENTO) of normal, and MPTP-lesioned cats symptomatic for and recovered from MPTP-induced Parkinsonism. In the ENTO of symptomatic cats, GAD65 and GAD67 mRNA expression were both significantly increased, while only GAD67 gene expression was increased in the GP. Levels of...
