High Dietary Iron Supplement Induces the Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons Lesion in Transgenic Mice Expressing Mutant A53T Human Alpha-Synuclein
Both alpha-synuclein aggregation and iron deposits are neuropathological hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease (PD). We are particularly interested in whether iron could synergize with alpha-synuclein pathology in vivo, especially in the nigrostriatal system. In the present study, we reported transgenic...
