Neuroprotective Effects of CGP3466B on Apoptosis Are Modulated by Protein-L-isoaspartate (D-aspartate) O-methyltransferase/Mst1 Pathways after Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats

Abstract Neuronal apoptosis chiefly contributes to the cell loss following traumatic brain injury (TBI). CGP3466B is a compound related to the anti-Parkinsonism drug R-(−)-deprenyl. Previous studies have illuminated anti-apoptosis effects of CGP3466B in different cell lines, but the underlying mecha...
