Antioxidant Properties of Glial Cell-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF)

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

We propose an in vitro model of chronic oxidative stress based on the use of glucose oxidase. Oxidative stress modeling leads to a significant increase in the number of dead cells in culture. It was shown that the glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor exhibits a pronounced anti-oxidant effect. Preventive application of 1 ng/ml glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor significantly reduced the percentage of dead cells in culture.
