1 We tested the hypothesis that uncompetitive NMDAR blockade with memantine prevents mitochondrial dysfunction-related neurodegeneration in vivo, using a mouse model of retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL) degeneration induced by rotenone, a mitochondrial complex I inhibitor.

2 Rotenone induced an increase in cell death and oxidative stress in GCL compared to controls, and these changes were prevented by the co-administration of memantine. Memantine germ cell-less, spermatogenesis associated 1 Mus musculus
