## Abstract We investigated whether the neuroprotective effect of estrogen is mediated by the estrogen receptor (ER) and whether extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) is involved in the protective effect of estrogen against __N__‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA)‐induced retinal neurotoxicity. Retrog

This study investigated the modulatory actions of adenosine and ␥-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on several aspects of N-methyl-Daspartate (NMDA)-induced neurotoxicity, including neuronal loss, atrophy, necrosis, and calcium accumulation in the hippocampus. For this purpose, we combined unilateral intrahi
Cultures of chicken day 8 embryo retinal cells, essentially free of contaminating non-neuronal elements, were used to examine the neurotoxicity of various excitatory amino acid transmitter receptor agonists. At 7 days in vitro, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), following 24 hr exposure to 0.1-1.0 mM, des
