A bstract : The effects of exogenous toxins (MPP + , rotenone) and potentially neurotoxic properties of levodopa (L‐DOPA) on the survival rate of dopaminergic neurons in dissociated primary culture are presented. Dopamine agonists show a capacity to counteract MPP + ‐toxicity. Moreover, a preserving potential of the antioxidant and bioenergetic coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 ) on the activities of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), complexes I and II of the respiratory chain, and hexokinase activity in striatal slice cultures against MPP + is demonstrated.
