title: [Effect of 6-hydroxydopamine on cerebral catecholamines, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes in rats-concerned with pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease].
abstract: As an animal model of human Parkinson's disease 250 micrograms of 6-Hydroxydopamine was injected intraventricularly in the rats. At 24 h, 48 h, 7th and 14th day after injection, the levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, Cu, Zn- and Mn- superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase as well as the lipid peroxidative products in the striatum, midbrain and hypothalamus were determined. Our data showed that catecholamines decreased persistently, catalase and Mn-SOD decreased concomitantly, Cu, Zn-SOD, however, remained, unchanged. Lipid peroxidative products increased shortly after injection, then subsided. Our result suggests that lipid peroxidation might be involved in the degenerative process of neurons in Parkinson's disease.
