It has been speculated that the conversion of MPTP to MPP+ destroys dopaminergic neurons by promoting the generation of hydroxyl radicals and causes lipid peroxidation. The results obtained in the present work indicate that the primary products of lipid peroxidation are not detectable in MPTP treated animals and thus other mechanisms besides lipid peroxidation should be considered to explain the cytotoxicity of this neurotoxin.
MPTP fails to induce lipid peroxidation in vivo.

Abstract
It has been speculated that the conversion of MPTP to MPP+ destroys dopaminergic neurons by promoting the generation of hydroxyl radicals and causes lipid peroxidation. The results obtained in the present work indicate that the primary products of lipid peroxidation are not detectable in MPTP treated animals and thus other mechanisms besides lipid peroxidation should be considered to explain the cytotoxicity of this neurotoxin.File in questo prodotto:
