Objectives: The examination was sighted to study the preventive effects of rosinidin against rotenone-activated Parkinson's disease in rats.
Methods: Animals were randamoized into five groups: I-saline, II-rotenone (0.5 mg/kg/b.wt.), III- IV-10 and 20 mg/kg rosinidin after rotenone and V-20 mg/kg rosinidin per se for 28 days and were assigned for behavioral analysis., Biochemical parameters i.e. lipid peroxidation, endogenous antioxidants, nitrite level, neurotransmitter levels, proinflammatory biomarkers such as interleukin- 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-1β, nuclear factor kappa B, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, and caspase-3 were assessed on the 29th day of the research.
Results: Rosinidin augmented the effectiveness of rotenone on akinesia, catalepsy, forced-swim test, rotarod, and open-field test. Biochemical findings indicated that treatment of rosinidin showed restoring neuroinflammatory cytokines, antioxidants, and neurotransmitter levels in rotenone-injected rats.
Conclusion: As a result of rosinidin treatment, the brain was protected from oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage and inhibited neuroinflammatory cytokines.
