The Secretome of Brain Endothelial Cells Exposed to the Pyrrolizidine Alkaloid Monocrotaline Induces Astrocyte Reactivity and Is Neurotoxic

Monocrotaline (MCT) has well-characterized hepatotoxic and pneumotoxic effects attributed to its active pyrrole metabolites. Studies have previously shown that astrocytes and neurons are targets of MCT, and that toxicity is attributed to astrocyte P450 metabolism to reactive metabolites. However, li...
