Parkinson's disease is characterized by dopaminergic neuronal degeneration, but its pathogenic mechanism is still unknown. In the dopaminergic neurons, oxygen radicals such as hydrogen peroxide are released through dopamine oxidation. Many factors are involved in radical formation, but glutamate and
Ceramide is a sphingolipid that has been implicated both in apoptosis and protection from cell death. We show that in both rat cerebellar granule cells and cortical neuronal cultures application of C(2)-ceramide causes cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Similar effects were observed wi
