Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated an inverse association between coffee consumption and Parkinson's disease (PD). This study was designed to investigate the beneficial effect of caffeine at a dose comparable to that of human exposure in a model of PD. For this purpose, unilateral intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-lesioned rats were pretreated with caffeine (20 mg/kg; i.p.) 1 h before surgery and treated twice a day (10 mg/kg) for 1 month. Apomorphine-induced rotations and number of Nissl-stained neurons of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNC) were counted. The results demonstrated that caffeine administration for 1 month could attenuate the rotational behavior in lesioned rats and protect the neurons of SNC against 6-OHDA toxicity.
流行病学研究一直表明,咖啡消费与帕金森病(PD)之间存在负相关。本研究旨在探讨在帕金森病模型中,与人体接触剂量相当的咖啡因剂量的有益作用。为此,对单侧纹状体内注射6-羟基多巴胺(6-OHDA)损伤的大鼠在手术前1小时用咖啡因(20mg/kg;腹腔注射)进行预处理,并每天治疗两次(10mg/kg),持续1个月。计算阿扑吗啡诱导的旋转次数和黑质致密部(SNC)尼氏染色神经元的数量。结果表明,给予咖啡因1个月可减轻损伤大鼠的旋转行为,并保护SNC神经元免受6-OHDA毒性的影响。
