Low Dose Administration of Glutamate Triggers a Non-Apoptotic, Autophagic Response in PC12 Cells

Low Dose Administration of Glutamate Triggers a Non-Apoptotic, Autophagic Response in PC12 Cells

Background/Aims: Increasing amounts of the neurotransmitter glutamate are associated with excitotoxicity, a phenomenon related both to homeostatic processes and neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Methods: PC12 cells (rat pheochromocytoma) were treated with various concentrations...
