1 Both rotenone and MPP+ induced the nuclear damage, the changes in the mitochondrial membrane permeability, leading to the cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation, the formation of reactive oxygen species and the depletion of GSH in differentiated PC12 cells. Rotenone caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus
2 Lamotrigine significantly attenuated the rotenone- or MPP+-induced mitochondrial damage leading to caspase-3 activation, increased oxidative stress and cell death. Rotenone caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus
3 The results show that lamotrigine seems to reduce the cytotoxicity of rotenone and MPP+ by suppressing the mitochondrial permeability transition formation, leading to cytochrome c release and subsequent activation of caspase-3. Rotenone caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus
