Genetic mice models of Parkinson’s disease
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Medical Science - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The loss of dopaminergicneurons in the substancia nigra pars compacta leads to the characteristicsymptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), whose Lewy bodies is a pathologic signalmost always found. Various monogenic forms account for a minority of cases ofPD, but have provided crucial insight into disease mechanism. However,genetically faithful models have not been exposed to putative toxicants in amanner that is clearly relevant to human exposures, and most of studies haveused conventional genetically modified animals and convenient dosing paradigms.Better translation between preclinical, neuropathologic animal model and,clinical research would be important for future clinical trials.
