MIF-1 (x 7 or 8 days) showed a tendency to attenuate the increased number of movements and significantly (P less than 0.05) reduced all of the other effects of neonatal 6-OHDA.
2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
At 5 weeks, a low dose (0.1 mg/kg s.c.) of apomorphine increased the distance traveled, time in ambulation, number of stereotypic movements, and number of movements per time in stereotypy, but decreased the time in stereotypy in the 6-OHDA group.
Rats received 6-OHDA (100 micrograms i.c.v.) or diluent at 3 days after birth and either MIF-1 (2.0 mg/kg per day s.c. x 10 days) or diluent beginning at 28 or 29 days after birth.
