We used two mouse models of Huntington's disease (HD) to examine changes in glutamate receptor sensitivity and striatal electrophysiology. One model, a transgenic, consisted of mice expressing exon 1 of the human HD gene and carrying 141-157 CAG repeat sequences (R6/2 line). The second model, a CAG
This is the first study to investigate the potential protective effects of the lipophilic kavapyrone (+/-)-kavain in the experimental MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) model of Parkinson's disease (PD). Male C57BL/6 mice were treated with (+/-)-kavain (50, 100, or 200 mg/kg i.p.) o
## Abstract The erythrocyte osmotic fragility was evaluated on 19 unmedicated subjects with Huntington's disease and 42 individuals at 50% risk, 27 children at 25% risk, and a group of 60 hematologically normal control persons. Five older subjects at 50% risk for Huntington's disease as well as 6 A
## Abstract When skin fibroblast cultures derived from subjects with Huntington's disease (HD) were grown in medium supplemented with lipidβdeficient serum (LDS), growth rates were less than those of control cultures. The mean percentage increase in generation time for nine control cultures incurre
