EA ameliorated ROT‐induced DA neuronal damage. Male wild‐type mice received subcutaneous injection of ROT (1 mg/kg) six times a week for consecutive five weeks. EA were daily given by intragastric administration for consecutive another five weeks. Open field test and rotarod test were performed to evaluate animal behaviour changes (A and B). TH‐positive neuron number was counted after midbrain sections immunohistochemistry staining (C). Scale bar = 200 μm. TH protein expression was tested by Western blot assay (D). Results were represented as mean ± SEM from 6 mice. *P < 0.05 compared with the control group, ^# P < 0.05 compared with ROT‐treated group
