Zinc Alters Excitatory Amino Acid Neurotoxicity on Cortical Neurons
... Zn was included in the exposure solution, this glutamateinduced neuronal losswasmarkedly reduced (Fig. 6B). Like the protective effect of Zn on NMDA neurotoxicity, the protective effect of Zn on glutamate showeda U-shapedZn concentration dependence,with maximal protective effect at 300 FM (Fig. 7). ...
