Abstract

Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element required for ubiquitous enzymatic reactions. Chronic overexposure to this metal may, however, promote potent neurotoxic effects. The mechanism of Mn toxicity is not well established, but several studies indicate that oxidative stress and mitochondria play major roles in the Mn-induced neurodegenerative processes that lead to dysfunction in the basal ganglia. The aim of this study was to address the toxic effects of MnCl2 and MnSO4 on the immortalized rat brain microvessel endothelial cell line (RBE4) and to characterize toxic mechanism associated with exposure to Mn. The cytotoxicity of Mn in RBE4 cells was evaluated using the LDH and the MTT assays. A significant increase was noted in LDH release from RBE4 cells exposed for 24 h to MnCl2 at concentrations of 800 microM and MnSO4 at concentrations > or = 400 microM (p < 0.05) when compared with control unexposed cells. The MTT assay established significant decrease in cellular viability upon exposure to MnCl2 at concentrations > or = 100 microM and to MnSO4 at concentrations > or = 50 microM (p < 0.05). Thus, the cytotoxicity assays showed that the MTT assay was more sensitive than the LDH assay, suggesting that mitochondrial changes...Continue Reading

Basal ganglia in Parkinson's disease (MDS)

The basal ganglia is comprised of the neostriatum, the external and internal pallidal segments, the subthalamic nucleus, the substantia nigra pars reticulata, and the pars compacta of the substantia nigra. The basal ganglia circuitry is responsible for the correct execution of voluntary movements and is implicated in Parkinson's disease. Here is the latest research investigating the basal ganglia in Parkinson's disease.

Aminoglycosides (ASM)

Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside. Discover the latest research on aminoglycoside here.
