1. Schematic diagram that summarizes the findings of the current study showing that diabetes-induced peroxynitrite inactivates the NGF/TrkA receptor prosurvival signal via tyrosine nitration.
Schematic diagram that summarizes the findings of the current study showing that diabetes-induced peroxynitrite inactivates the NGF/TrkA receptor prosurvival signal via tyrosine nitration. Instead, diabetes-induced peroxynitrite activates the NGF/p75NTR proapoptotic signal leading to neuronal death. Treatments that target peroxynitrite formation or tyrosine nitration represent potentially effective therapeutics in attenuating retinal neurodegenerative diseases.
