  • Treatment of the EAAC1(-/-) mice with N-acetyl cysteine restored neuronal glutathione concentrations, normalized basal zinc levels, reduced ischemia-induced zinc translocation, superoxide production, and neuron death
  • ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • EAAC1(-/-) mice subjected to transient cerebral ischemia exhibited twice as much hippocampal neuronal death, elevated vesicular and cytosolic zinc concentrations in hippocampal CA1 neurons and an increased zinc translocation to postsynaptic neurons after ischemia
