L-β-N-oxalyl-α,β-diaminopropionic acid toxicity in motor neurons

The excitatory amino acid L-β-N-oxalyl-α,β-diaminopropionic acid (L-β-ODAP) in Lathyrus sativus L. is proposed as the causative agent of the neurodegenerative disease neurolathyrism. We investigated the effect of L-β-ODAP on [Ca2+]i handling, redox homeostasis, and cell death in rat spinal motor neu... View More
