Figure 2From: Memory-enhancing activities of the aqueous extract of Albizia adianthifolia leaves in the 6-hydroxydopamine-lesion rodent model of Parkinson’s disease Protective effects of the aqueous extract of A. adianthifolia leaves (150 and 300 mg/kg) on pergolide (0.5 mg/kg, b.w., s.c.)-induced rotational behavior in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. 1 week after 6-OHDA injection, the number of net rotation contralateral to the lesion side was increased. However, the administration of the aqueous extract of A. adianthifolia leaves restored the decrease in the number of net rotation. Values are means ± S.E.M. (n = 10 animals per group), **p < 0.001, ***p < 0.0001 vs. 6-OHDA alone treated-group.Back to article page
