Huntington's disease (HD) is generally considered a prototypic motor disorder, but cognitive deficits are also prominent features of the disease. Systemic administration of the mitochondrial toxin 3-nitropropionic acid (3NP) has been proposed to be a phenotypic model of HD in rats and nonhuman primates. In this study, we investigated the effect of 5 days continuous subcutaneous infusion of 3NP on...
Riluzole has been shown recently to increase life expectancy in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A number of experimental studies also suggest that this compound may be a neuroprotectant. We have investigated in baboons whether riluzole would protect striatal neurons from a prolonged 3-nitropropionic acid (3NP) treatment and ameliorate the associated motor symptoms. In animals receiving...
