abstract：:To test the hypothesis that neuroinflammation contributes to dopaminergic neuron death in the MPTP-lesioned mouse, we compared nigrostriatal degeneration in interleukin (IL)-6 (+/+) with IL-6 (-/-) mice. In the absence of IL-6, a single injection of MPTP (30 mg/kg) resulted in significantly greater striatal dopamine d...
