## Abstract A typical feature of Parkinson's disease is the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, in which inhibition of mitochondrial complex I activity may play an important role. Rotenone or 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) inhibit the mitochondrial
To study the possible role of the isoenzymes of cyclooxygenase COX-1 and COX-2 in the MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) mouse model of Parkinson's disease we used acetylsalicylic acid, a COX-1/COX-2 inhibitor, in comparison with meloxicam, a preferential COX-2 inhibitor. As markers
## Abstract Glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to be neuroprotective in animal models of the dopamine deficiency in Parkinson's disease. To examine the role of the extracellular signal‐regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) in this process, we infused a single dose of GDN
