Metabolic state determines sensitivity to cellular stress in Huntington disease: normalization by activation of PPARγ.

Impairments in mitochondria and transcription are important factors in the pathogenesis of Huntington disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disease caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin protein. This study investigated the effect of different metabolic states and peroxisome proliferator-...
