GDNF Protects against Aluminum-Induced Apoptosis in Rabbits by Upregulating Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL and Inhibiting Mitochondrial Bax Translocation

GDNF Protects against Aluminum-Induced Apoptosis in Rabbits by Upregulating Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL and Inhibiting Mitochondrial Bax Translocation

Direct (intracisternal) injection of aluminum complexes into rabbit brain results in a number of similarities with the neuropathological and biochemical changes observed in Alzheimer's disease and provides the opportunity to assess early events in neurodegeneration. This mode of administration...
