We studied its effects on L-BMAA treated neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y), an amino acid that can trigger neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinson dementia complex (ALS/PDC). We found that S1P protects from necrosis and prevents the GSK3 increasing as long as the PI3K/AKT pathway is active. Moreover, GSK3 inhibition protects against neuronal death caused by L-BMAA. %~
