Abstract
Several animal models are employed to discover novel treatments for the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). PD models can be divided into two models: neurotoxin models and genetic models. Among neurotoxins to produce PD models, 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), and rotenone, which inhibit the mitochondrial complex I, are widely used. Animal models of PD using these neurotoxins are also known as mitochondrial toxin models. Here this chapter describes the preparation of these mitochondrial toxin models.Entities:
