norharman exacerbates 6-hydroxydopamine-induced parkinson’s disease but cannot establish it alone

چکیده
introduction: β-carbolines (bcs) are heterocyclic indole alkaloids found in human body, grilled meat, alcoholic beverages and tobacco smoke. based on the present reports, there are controversies about the role of these compounds in the pathophysiology of parkinson' disease (pd). the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of norharman, a bc, in the prevention, exacerbation or creation of pd in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-ohda) rat model. methods: in the first part of this study, pd was established in rats by stereotaxic injection of 6-ohda into the striatum. at the 2nd and 4th weeks post-surgery, apomorphine-induced rotational test was performed. just before the surgery to the 4th week, after that rats received i.p. daily injections of norharman or its solvent at different doses. in the second part of the study, other groups of rats received daily intraperitoneal injections of norharman at different doses without prior injections of 6-ohda. fifteen and 30 days after the beginning of the injections, apomorphine-induced rotational and elevated body swing tests were performed. results: in the 6-ohda-induced parkinsonism rats, daily injection of norharman at doses of 200 and 1000, but not 100 μg/kg, significantly increased apomorphine-induced rotations compared to the control group at the 4th week postsurgery. in the intact rats, daily injection of norharman at doses of 200, 500 and 1000 μg/kg could not produce any pd symptoms in the apomorphine-induced rotational and elevated body swing tests. conclusion: longtime exposure to bcs can exacerbate pd but it cannot create the disease.

متن کاملNeuroprotective effect of topiramate against 6-hydroxydopamine-induced cell death in Parkinson's disease cell mode
Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive neuronal dysfunction. Growing evidence has shown that oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Correspondingly, the current study evaluated the protective effect of topiramate in 6-hydroxydopamine induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in PC12 cells...
متن کاملHigh intake of folic acid attenuates 6-hydroxydopamine-induced Parkinsonism
Introduction: High levels of homocysteine (Hcy) might accelerate dopaminergic cell death through oxidative stress and excitotoxicity. Folate plays an important role in the control of plasma levels of Hcy. In this study, effect of supplementation with folic acid on the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced Parkinsonism in rat and also serum level of Hcy was investigated. Methods: Rats were fed ...

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a commonly diagnosed neurodegenerative disease among the elderly. Considering the limited symptomatic improvement associated with PD treatments, introduction of more effective agents is necessary. Citrus aurantium flower extract (CAE) is recognized as a neuroprotective and hepatoprotective agent with bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, phenolics, a...
متن کاملPeganum Harmala L. Extract Reduces Oxidative Stress and Improves Symptoms in 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced Parkinson’s Disease in Rats
Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. There are many documents about the effects of oxidative stress in Parkinson’s disease etiology. Angiotensin II activates NADPH dependent oxidases and causes superoxides formation. Peganum harmala L. extract, which has angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory effect, is considered to evaluate oxidative stress inhi...
