## Abstract Cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) undergo apoptosis when deprived of depolarizing stimulation and provide an in vitro model system with which to study the effects of neurotrophic substances. Our previous results showed that secretory phospholipases A~2~ (sPLA~2~s) protect CGNs

## Abstract Gambierol is a marine polyether ladder toxin derived from the dinoflagellate __Gambierdiscus toxicus__. To date, gambierol has been reported to act either as a partial agonist or as an antagonist of sodium channels or as a blocker of voltage‐dependent potassium channels. In this work, w
Oxidative stress is considered to be an important pathophysiological condition to promote cell death in a broad variety of disorders, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Scavestrogens, structurally derived from estradiol, are potent radical scavengers and inhibitors of iron-induce
Cerebellar granule cells (CGC) have provided a reliable model for studying the toxicity of methylmercury (MeHg), a well-known neurotoxicant contaminating the environment. In the present study we report that doses of MeHg ranging from 0.1 microM to 1.5 microM activated apoptosis, as shown by cell shr
