Figure 4. Unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned rats were tested for the percentage of impaired forelimb use compared with the total numbers.

Figure 4

Animals were injected with either saline, L-dopa + benserazide, LBM-L (20 mg/kg), LBM-M (40 mg/kg) and LBM-H (60 mg/kg). Experiment consisted of four different sessions, namely 3 d, 8 d, 13 d and 18 d in the treatment period. 6-OHDA-lesioned rats treated with L-dopa plus benserazide prefer to use the compromised (contralateral) forelimb to touch the inner wall of the cylinder compared with the 6-OHDA-lesioned rats treated with saline. Rats in the LBM groups also demonstrated preferential to touch the wall with contralateral forelimb. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean; # p < 0.01, ## p < 0.05 vs LID; * p > 0.05 vs LID.
