A significantly attenuated neurotoxicity in nontransgenic mice (i.e., very little loss of dopaminergic neurons with the dose of MPTP causing ∼50% reduction in our study) observed in this study suggest that there may be significant strain background and/or other transgene specific effects [27] .

Resistance to MPTP-neurotoxicity in α-synuclein knockout mice is complemented by human α-synuclein and associated with increased β-synuclein and Akt activation.
