The brain levels of the endogenous excitotoxin quinolinic acid (QUIN) and its bioprecursor, the free radical generator 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK), are elevated in early stage Huntington disease (HD). We now examined the status of these metabolites in three mouse models of HD. In R6/2 mice, 3-HK levels were significantly and selectively elevated in the striatum, cortex and cerebellum starting at 4 weeks...
Excitotoxic mechanisms may play a critical role in the pathophysiology of several neurological and psychiatric diseases. Excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists are therefore of great therapeutic interest, but untoward side effects often prevent their clinical use. Targeting the glycine coagonist site of the (NMDA) receptor may bypass these shortcomings. The present study was designed to evaluate...
