Abstract

To study the effects of Qing-Xuan tablets (QXT) on behavior pattern and striatal TNF-alpha in mice model of Parkinson's disease (PD). The PD models were established by intraperitoneal injection of MPTP (30 mg/kg). 30 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups: control group, PD model group, QXT high dosage group, QXT middle dosage group, QXT low dosage group and trihexyphenidyl hydrochloride group. After 7 days of treatment, the behavior pattern of mice were observed, and striatum were seperated to detect the content of TNF-alpha by ELISA. QXT increased the behavior of mice in behavioral tests (open field, pole test, grid test) (P<0.05 or P<0.01) but depressed TNF-alpha activity in striatum (P<0.05). QXT can significantly enhance the behavioral activity of mice,and depress TNF-alpha content in striatum,which suggest QXT can effectively relieve the symptom of PD.
