    Abstract:

    Objective To explore the oxidative stress in Parkinson's disease dyskinesia with Yin deficiency stirring wind pattern, and the interventional effect of compound formula rehmannia on the disease condition. Methods One hundred and twenty healthy male SD rats (body weight 180-200 g) were randomly divided into four groups: the control group, sham-operated group, model group, and Rehm group. The rat model with Parkinson's disease (PD) was established by injection of 6-hydroxyl dopamine to destroy the substantia nigra using the brain stereotaxic apparatus. Dyskinesia was induced in the PD rats by injection of levodopa into the brain. The dyskinesia PD model rats received intraperitoneal injection of levodopamine 50 mg/kg and benserazide 12.5 mg/kg for 2 weeks to induce Yin deficiency stirring wind pattern. The rats of Rehm group were given gastric gavage of compound formula rehmannia 2 mL/kg once a day for 4 weeks or 6 weeks. At the end of experiment (4 weeks and 6 weeks), neurobehavioral examination was performed, and the contents of SOD, MDA, GSH, and GSH-Px in the striatum tissue were assessed by colorimetry. Results In the LID group, the contents of SOD, GSH, GSH-Px in the striatum tissue were significantly lower than those in the normal control group and sham-operated group, and the malondialdehyde (MDA) content showed an increasing trend. In the compound rehmannia prescription group, the concentrations of SOD, GSH, GSH-Px in the striatum tissue showed an increasing trend, even more obvious along with the time course, and the malondialdehyde (MDA) content showed an decreasing trend, also even more obvious along with the time course. Conclusions The compound rehmannia prescription can improve the oxidative stress in rat models of Parkinson's disease dyskinesia with Yin deficiency stirring wind pattern. The interventional effect of compound rehmannia prescription may be mediated by scavenging free radicals and reducing the damage to the cells, thus, to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease dyskinesia.
