Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the gene encoding Huntingtin. The mechanisms underlying the preferential degeneration of the striatum, the most striking neuropathological change in HD, are unknown. Of those probably involved, mitochondrial defects
Whereas ionizing radiation (Ir) instantaneously causes the formation of water radiolysis products that contain some reactive oxygen species (ROS), ROS are also suggested to be released from biological sources in irradiated cells. It is now becoming clear that these ROS

Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with severe degeneration of basal ganglia neurons, especially the intrinsic neurons of the striatum, and characterized by progressive dementia and involuntary abnormal choreiform movements. Despite our increasing knowledge of the pathophysiology
Current opinion in neurology, 8(6), 469-473 (1995-12-01)
Compelling evidence suggests that a defect in energy metabolism may play a role in the pathogenesis of various degenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. The behavioural and neuropathological consequences in primates of chronic systemic administration of mitochondrial toxins
Progress in neurobiology, 72(2), 87-110 (2004-04-06)
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease, in which there is progressive motor and cognitive deterioration, and for which the pathogenesis of neuronal death remains controversial. Mitochondrial toxins like 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP) and malonate, functioning as the inhibitors of
