title: [A model of Parkinson's disease: effect of L-dopa therapy on movement parameters and electromyographic activity in monkeys treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)].
abstract: A primate model of Parkinson's disease was obtained by i. v. administration of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). A behavioural, a mechanographic and an electromyographic (EMG) study were carried out during the execution of a rapid elbow movement, in two normal monkeys and, after the MPTP administration, before and after a L-DOPA therapy. Disturbances in behavior, movement parameters and EMG activity observed in MPTP-treated monkeys mimic those reported in Parkinsonian patients. Treatment with L-DOPA was effective in greatly correcting these disturbances. These results lend weight to the assumption that use of MPTP in primate provides a good model to study Parkinson's disease.
