Nerve growth factor (NGF) mediates a variety of nerve cell actions through receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA. It has been revealed that the Akt pathway contributes to the prevention of apoptosis. It is thought that Parkinson's disease involves apoptosis, and NGF prevents apoptosis in an in vivo model sy
## Abstract Glial cell lineβderived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to be neuroprotective in animal models of the dopamine deficiency in Parkinson's disease. To examine the role of the extracellular signalβregulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) in this process, we infused a single dose of GDN
