## Abstract Several neurotoxic compounds, including Al, NO, and Ξ²βamyloid may contribute to the impairment or loss of brain cholinergic neurons in the course of various neurodegenerative diseases. Genotype and phenotypic modifications of cholinergic neurons may determine their variable functional c

## Abstract Choline acetyltransferase (CAT) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities were measured in spinal cord homogenates from rabbits with aluminumβinduced neurofibrillary degeneration and a group of salinetreated, ageβmatched controls. All Aluminum βtreated animals showed neurofibrillary ch
Five groups of 25 Fischer 344 rats of each sex were exposed for 6 h to isopropanol vapor at 0, 500, 1500, 5000 or 10000 ppm. Behavioral observations for 10 rats of each sex were made prior to and 1, 6, and 24 h after exposure. Motor activity was evaluated for 15 rats of each sex prior to and immedia
## Abstract Experiments were carried out to test the hypothesis that lactate reduces the neurotoxicity of glutamate in vivo. MAP2 immunohistochemistry was used to measure lesion size, and microdialysis to measure the changes in glucose and lactate in the extracellular compartment. After implantatio
## Abstract Given the link between neurotoxicity and exposure to pollutants, the potential behavioral neurotoxicity of benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P] was investigated. Studies have established that B(a)P requires metabolic activation to highly reactive species to elicit many of its adverse effects. This st
