Sildenafil protects against 3-nitropropionic acid neurotoxicity through the modulation of calpain, CREB and BDNF

In this study we tested whether phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, sildenafil and vardenafil, would afford protection against 3-nitropropionic acid (3NP), which produces striatal lesions that closely mimic some of the neuropathological features of Huntington's Disease (HD). The neurotoxin...
