Evidence for active acetylcholine metabolism in human amniotic epithelial cells: applicable to intracerebral allografting for neurologic disease.

abstract：:To assess the neurotoxic properties of the glutamate agonist quisqualic acid (QA) in immature brain, we injected this compound (100 nmol QA/1 microliter) directly into the striatum of 7-day-old rats. QA produced neuronal necrosis and glial infiltration in 14 pups and reduced the size of the striatum and hippocampus on...
