Abstract
The present study summarizes results obtained with PACAP treatment in models of neurodegenerative diseases. The data show that PACAP protected a significant number of neurons in quinolinic acid- and 6-hydoxydopamine-induced lesions, which correlated with the less severe behavioral symptoms. These effects may have clinical implications in Huntington and Parkinsons diseases.
