Results of behavioral analysis. In A, it measures the percentage of use of the contralateral limb, in the cylinder test at 9 and 29 days after surgical microinjections of vehicle (Control) or 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in the dorsal striatum of rats (n = 8). Two-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni's post-tests. In B, it shows the 6-OHDA induced rotations towards the contralateral side, in the apomorphine-induced rotational behavior test, on the 30th day. Columns represent the mean and bars indicate the SEM. DTTS: Tradescantia spathacea dry tea at 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg in distilled water, v.o., for 30 days. * indicates a significant difference in relation to the Control group (with * p < 0.05), # indicates a significant difference in relation to 6-OHDA (#p < 0.05). Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn's post-test.
