PD Model Intervention
Author Model Toxic Dose Duration Administration Dose Duration Administration Results
[52] Sprague–Dawley rats MPTP 20 mg/kg/day 15 days Intraperitoneal UCB
(500 µL)
5, 10, and 12 days Intravascular Improvement in motor function, gut motility, and dopaminergic neuronal survival. Reduction in proinflammatory cytokines in both the SNpc and the intestinal mucosa and dampened inflammation-associated gut microbiota.
[53] C57BL/6 mice 30 mg/kg/day 5 days UC-MSCs
1 × 106 cells/40 μL
7 days Intranasal Improvement in motor dysfunction and repair of the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons by inhibiting activated glial cells, decreasing proinflammatory cytokine release, maintaining normal mucosal barrier, and restricting NF-кB expression.
[54] 20 mg/kg/day 7 days Ceftriaxone
200 mg/kg
7 days Intraperitoneal Regulation of the intestinal microbiota. Relief of motor dysfunction and decreased exploratory ability. Increased intestinal barrier integrity, reduced inflammation of the colon and brain, and neuroprotective effect.
FMT
200 μL (107 CFU/mL)
Oral
(gavage)
[55] 30 mg/kg/day Dioscin
20, 40, and 80 mg/kg
28 days Remodeling of the gut microbiota and regulation of bile acid-mediated oxidative stress and neuroinflammation by targeting GLP-1 signaling.
[56] 20 mg/kg Vancomycin
100 mg/kg/day
14 days Suppression of MAO-B expression and DA catabolism possibly via the gut and brain TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB/TNF-α.
