Mice lacking alpha-synuclein are resistant to mitochondrial toxins
Abnormalities in the function of α-synuclein are implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). We found that α-synuclein-deficient mice are resistant to MPTP-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. There was dose-dependent protection against loss of both dopamine in the stri...
