Plain English Summary
Researchers tested whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) could protect brain cells from damage caused by a toxic chemical that mimics Huntington's disease in rats. They found that TMS prevented cell death and reduced harmful oxidative stress in the brain region most affected by the disease. This suggests magnetic field therapy might offer neuroprotective benefits for degenerative brain conditions.
Study Details
An investigation was conducted on the effect of transcranial magnetic field stimulation (TMS) on the free radical production and neuronal cell loss produced by 3-nitropropionic acid in rats.
The effects of 3-nitropropionic acid were evaluated by examining the following changes in: the quant...
Our results reveal that 3-nitropropionic acid induces oxidative and nitrosative stress in the striat...
In conclusion, the results show the ability of TMS to modify neuronal response to 3-nitropropionic acid.
