Pediococcus pentosaceus treatment inhibited the methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced motor dysfunction. (A) Schematic diagram of the animal experiments. (B) Time to cross the beam in the balance beam test. (C) Number of foot slips in the balance beam test. (D) Latency time in the rotarod test. (E) Score of crawling state in the pole test. Statistical comparison by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc comparisons of Dunnett’s multiple-comparisons test. Data are presented as means ± SEM. ^* P < 0.05 vs. Con group, ^** P < 0.01 vs. Con group, ^## P < 0.01 vs. MPTP group.
