INVOLVEMENT OF PAR-4 AND OXIDATIVE STRESS IN TROPHIC FACTOR WITHDRAWAL-INDUCED APOPTOSIS OF HIPPOCAMPAL NEURONS: PROTECTION BY ESTROGEN AND ANTI-OXIDANTS.

The article presents an abstract of the paper "Involvement of Par-4 and Oxidative Stress in Trophic Factor Withdrawal-induced Apoptosis of Hippocampal Neurons: Protection by Estrogen and Anti-oxidants," which will be presented at the 30th annual meeting of the American Society for Neurochemistry to be held from March 14-17, 1999 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The paper discusses the role of Par-4 and oxidative stress in neuronal apoptosis resulting from trophic factor withdrawal.
