Mitochondrial-dependent mechanisms are involved in angiotensin II-induced apoptosis in dopaminergic neurons

Introduction: We recently demonstrated that angiotensin II (Ang II) was involved in the etiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD) via induction of apoptosis of dopaminergic neurons, but the mechanisms are not completely elucidated. Here, we asked whether mitochondrial-dependent mechanisms contributed to...
