Mitochondria play a critical role in cell death by releasing apoptogenic factors, such as cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), from the intermembrane space into the cytoplasm. Because mitochondrial dysfunction has been shown to be involved in several neurodegenerative diseases, mitochondrial toxins are largely used to model these disorders. These include 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP), an irreversibl...
