Abstract Oxidative stress that correlates with damage to nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons and reactive gliosis in the basal ganglia is a hallmark of methamphetamine (METH) toxicity. In this study, we analyzed protective role transcription factor Nrf2 (nuclear factor‐erythroid 2‐related 2), master regulator redox homeostasis, METH‐induced neurotoxicity. We found deficiency exacerbated dopamine neurons, shown by an increase loss tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)‐ transporter (DAT)‐containing fibers...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder predominantly affecting the elderly. The aetiology of not known, but age and environmental factors play an important role. Although more than dozen gene mutations associated with familial forms have been described, fewer 10% all cases can be explained by genetic abnormalities. molecular basis loss dopamine in basal ganglia (caudate/putamen) due to degeneration dopaminergic neurons substantia nigra, which leads motor impairment...

Methamphetamine (METH), a commonly abused psychostimulant, causes dopamine neurotoxicity in humans, rodents, and nonhuman primates. This study examined the selective neuroanatomical pattern of dopaminergic induced by METH mouse striatum. We effect on tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) transporter (DAT) immunoreactivity different compartments striatum nucleus accumbens. The levels its metabolites, 3,4-dihidroxyphenylacetic acid homovanillic acid, as well serotonin (5-HT) metabolite,...
