(A-C): Effect of P. lividus gonadal extract on the behavioral alternation induced by rotenone in rats. (A) Rotarod test scores. (B&C) Open field test, measuring rearing frequency & Ambulance frequency. (D-H): Effect of P. lividus gonadal extract on rotenone-induced oxidative impairments in nigrostriatal tissue of rats. Oxidative stress markers (MDA, NO, and GSH) and antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) were determined. All the data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey Pairwise Comparisons. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM; n = 5 rats for each group. Different superscripts on the columns are significantly different at p≤0.05.
