Progesterone (PROG) shows neuroprotective effects in numerous lesion models, including a mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD) induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). However, the possible beneficial effects of PROG on the behavioral and neurochemical impairments incurred in the hemiparkinsonian 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) model have not been investigated. Vehicle or PROG (4 mg/kg or 8 mg/kg) was daily applied over 13 days after unilateral injection of 6-OHDA into the… CONTINUE READING
