Does lithium prevent colchicine-induced apoptosis in rat cerebellar granule neurons?
Our data indicate that lithium treatment is selectively neuroprotective; however, in our experimental conditions VPA did not protect CGNs from apoptosis induced by colchicine. Our results support the hypothesis that distinct pathways mediate the neuroprotective effects of lithium and VPA.
Our data indicate that common variants at 12q24 may contribute to the susceptibility of drinking behavior in Han Chinese.
