However, etoposide, which causes genotoxic stress; tunicamycin, an ER stress inducer; and rotenone, which causes mitochondrial damage, fail to phosphorylate AB-DIP, implying that phosphorylation of AB-DIP is specific to microtubule-disruption-induced G2/M arrest.

Moreover, environmental risk factors such as the pesticide rotenone have been used successfully to generate rodent models of PD.
A reduction of plaque burden and amelioration of cognitive decline in these animals was recently achieved by vaccination with amyloid beta-protein fibrils.
