Notes: MPP+ is an active metabolite of MPTP, a neurotoxin used to cause selective destruction of dopaminergic neurons in animal models of parkinsonism.{31390,31391,31393,31392} MPP+ induces neurotoxicity primarily by inhibiting complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, resulting in ATP depletion and increased oxidative stress.{31394} The key features of different neurotoxic models of Parkinson’s disease, including the MPTP model, have been detailed.{31394}
