Rotenone links to human disorders.

Human disorders and Rotenone:
Exposure to Rotenone in mouse products has proved to cause symptoms akin to Parkinson's disease in the mice, and rats who have been continuously exposed to Rotenone have developed neurological symptoms almost identical to those of Parkinson's Disease. This has led to deeper research involving human exposure to Rotenone and this disease. Rotenone selectively kills serotonergic neurons in midbrain neuron cultures, and depression, a major co-morbity of Parkinson's Disease is linked to the loss of serotonergic neurons. Further research involving this disease and its potenital link to Rotenone is being conducted, but the connection between the two is still undetermined. Other diseases or disorders have not yet been found to derive or link to being exposed to Rotenone.
