Parkinson disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a prevalence that increases with age. The glycolytic end-product pyruvate, has antioxidant and neuroprotective feature. Here, we investigated the effects of ethyl pyruvate (EP), a pyruvic acid derivative, on 6-hydroxydopamine-induced SH-SY5Y cell apoptosis. Ethyl pyruvate decreased protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, phosphorylated endoplasmic reticulum kinase (pERK), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), sugg ...[more]
