Sodium azide (NaN3) is a special inhibitor of mitochondrion cytochrome c oxidase (COX), which can be used to mimic neuronal damage induced by mitochondrial deficiency.

In this study, we first developed an in vitro model of neuron with mitochondrial dysfunction, based on sodium azide (NaN (3))-induced inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV) that is reduced in post-mortem AD brains, and then investigated the role of Trx expression in response of neurons with mitochondrial dysfunction to oxidative stress.
