High-Resolution Respirometry Reveals MPP<sup>+</sup> Mitochondrial Toxicity Mechanism in a Cellular Model of Parkinson’s Disease
MPP<sup>+</sup> is the active metabolite of MPTP, a molecule structurally similar to the herbicide Paraquat, known to injure the dopaminergic neurons of the nigrostriatal system in Parkinson’s disease models. Within the cells, MPP<sup>+</sup> accumulates in mitochondria where...
