INTERACTION OF VESICULAR MONOAMINE TRANSPORTER 2 (VMAT2) AND NEUROMELANIN PIGMENT AMONG THE MIDBRAIN DOPAMINERGIC NEURONS, IN MAN
Neuromelanin (NM) pigment accumulates with age in catecholaminergic neurons in man, and the ventral substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons that are the most vulnerable to degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD) contain the greatest amount of this pigment. In vitro data indicate that NM pigm...
