Abstract
Treatment with PCB: (1) decreased the extracellular dopamine level in rat striatum, (2) increased p-nNOS expression both in rat striatal tissue and in CATH.a cells, (3) reduced the cell viability of, and (4) increased LDH release by CATH.a cells. However, Vitamin E showed a protective effect against PCB-induced toxicity and downregulation of the extracellular dopamine level. These results indicate that Vitamin E may have neuroprotective effects by inhibiting PCB-induced nNOS phosphorylation.
