Effects of EA, LA, and Myrt on rotarod test in a rat model of PD. All substances (50 mg/kg, i.p.) were administered daily for five days before stereotaxic surgery (unilateral injection of 2 μL/10 μg 6-OHDA into the right striatum). The test was made at week II and week III post lesion. The animals were placed on a spinning bar (7 rpm/min), and the number of falls was determined for 1 min. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 6–8 animals per group). Asterisks above bars indicate significant differences in the number of falls per minute between 6-OHDA and SO groups at * p < 0.05. Hashtags above bar indicate a significant difference in number of falls per minute between each experimental group and the 6-OHDA group at # p < 0.05. Statistical analysis was done by using Student’s t-test.
