Article: Taurine protects immature cerebellar granullar neurons against acute alcohol administration.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acute ethanol administration causes extensive apoptosis throughout the nervous system. We studied the protective effect of taurine on alcohol-induced apoptosis in the cerebellum of developing mice. Taurine rescued a part of immature neurons by markedly reducing caspase-3 immunoreactivity and the number of TUNEL-positive cells in most cerebellar lobules.Advances in experimental medicine and biology 02/2009; 643:159-67. · 1.09 Impact Factor
