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
We previously reported that microglial conditioned medium (Mic-CM) has a neurotrophic effect on cultured rat neocortical neurons [Nakajima et al. (1989): Biomed Res 10:411423]. In order to investigate the interaction between microglia and neurons in more detail, we determined the effects of Mic-CM o
