Melatonin attenuates MPP+-induced autophagy via heat shock protein in the Parkinson’s disease mouse model by Yinli Guo, Chengbo Liu

“…Methods Twelve adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups (normal control, melatonin control, Parkinson’s model, and melatonin treatment; n = 3 per group) and housed in a single cage. 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) was injected intraperitoneally in the Parkinson’s model and treatment groups to establish a subacute PD model, while controls received saline. Limb motor ability was assessed 1 h after the final injection using behavioral tests, including the open field test to evaluate central zone entries and average movement. …”
