Abstract
Parkinson’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder, the pathogenesis of which is partly related with oxidant status and inflammatory responses. The administration of citral with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may alleviate the negative effects of Parkinson. The present study aimed to assess the effects of citral nanoliposome on Parkinson’s treatment in a rat model. In this study, citral nanoliposome was successfully produced through employing a facile method. Additionally, 40 Wistar rats were divided into four groups (n = 10), one of which was considered as Sham and received no treatment. However, the other groups were administrated with rotenone, and/or treated with 5 and 10 mg/kg of citral for 21 days. Behavioral responses were evaluated based on the forced swimming test and hippocampal-dependent memory deficit. The rates were examined for tissue lipid peroxide (LPO), as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in brain. Further, they were investigated in terms of expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). The results suggested more immobility, higher LPO level, and a rise in the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and NF-κB (P = 0.001) following rotenone administration. Furthermore, this treatment decreased climbing, retention latency, SOD and GPx activities, and BDNF expression (P = 0.001). The use of citral, especially in higher dose, reversed all the adverse effects of rotenone on behavioral responses, antioxidant status, BDNF, and inflammatory genes. Parkinson represents a closed relationship with movement deficiency, increased inflammation, and reduced oxidant status. Citral administration can be considered as a therapeutic option following future studies.
期刊介绍:
Neurochemical Journal (Neirokhimiya) provides a source for the communication of the latest findings in all areas of contemporary neurochemistry and other fields of relevance (including molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, neuroimmunology, pharmacology) in an afford to expand our understanding of the functions of the nervous system. The journal presents papers on functional neurochemistry, nervous system receptors, neurotransmitters, myelin, chromaffin granules and other components of the nervous system, as well as neurophysiological and clinical aspects, behavioral reactions, etc. Relevant topics include structure and function of the nervous system proteins, neuropeptides, nucleic acids, nucleotides, lipids, and other biologically active components.
The journal is devoted to the rapid publication of regular papers containing the results of original research, reviews highlighting major developments in neurochemistry, short communications, new experimental studies that use neurochemical methodology, descriptions of new methods of value for neurochemistry, theoretical material suggesting novel principles and approaches to neurochemical problems, presentations of new hypotheses and significant findings, discussions, chronicles of congresses, meetings, and conferences with short presentations of the most sensational and timely reports, information on the activity of the Russian and International Neurochemical Societies, as well as advertisements of reagents and equipment.
