Aim To observe the protective effects of cordycepin(Cor) on dopaminergic neurons in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)-induced mouse model of Parkinson's disease(PD) and to explore its mechanism. Methods C57 BL/6 mice were administered with MPTP to establish the PD model. Mice in Cor groups were pretreated with Cor(2. 5,5. 0 and 10. 0 mg · kg~(-1)) by intragastric administration,respectively. The motor functions of the mice were observed in the open-field test,rotarod test and pole test. T...
R745.7;R977.6帕金森病(Parkinson’s disease,PD)是一种中枢神经系统退行性疾病,其主要特征是中脑黑质致密部(substantia nigra pars compacta,SNpc)多巴胺(dopa-mine,DA)能神经元变性死亡,最终导致DA含量降低[1]。其发病机制十分复杂,与细胞凋亡关系密切[2]。目前,临床治疗的
