Metallothionein II treatment mitigates rotenone-induced neurodegeneration in zebrafish models of Parkinson’s disease by Yong Hui Nies, Wei Ling Lim, Norwahidah Abd Karim, Mohamad Fairuz Yahaya, Seong Lin Teoh

“…This study explores the neuroprotective potential of exogenous human metallothionein 2 (hMT2) peptide in a rotenone-induced PD zebrafish model.MethodsAdult zebrafish were divided into four groups: control, rotenone-treated, hMT2 pre-treatment, and hMT2 co-treatment. PD model was established by exposing zebrafish to 5 µg/L rotenone water for 28 days. hMT2 (0.2 µg) was administered intracranially either one day before or seven days after rotenone exposure.ResultsThe novel tank test demonstrated that rotenone exposure significantly impaired locomotor activity (p < 0.05) and increased anxiety-like behavior (p < 0.001). …”
