Accumulating evidence indicates that glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) synergizes with 17 β-estradiol to protect dopaminergic neurons, however, the mechanisms have not yet been elucidated.Based on the fact that either 17β-estradiol or GDNF can activate the intracellular PI3K/Akt signal pathway, we hypothesize that the synergic protection of dopaminergic neurons exerted by E2 and GDNF is ascribed to enhancing the activation of the cellular PI3K/Akt signal pathway in a certain way.
