Effects of <italic>Cistanche Deserticola</italic> on Behavior and Expression of GSK-3β in Hippocampus of Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease by Shasha YANG, Wei QIN, Shiya CHEN, Jing CAI

“…In the Western Blotting, the protein expression of GSK-3β, β-catenin and p-β-catenin in model group were significantly increased compared with normal group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01); compared with model group, the protein expression of GSK-3β was respectively decreased in middle and high dose group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), the protein expression of β-catenin was respectively increased in low, middle and high dose group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and the protein expression of p-β-catenin in low, middle and high dose group was respectively decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).Conclusion:<italic>Cistanche deserticola</italic> can improve the behavior disorder in Parkinson's disease, and its mechanism is probably related with inhibiting the activity of GSK-3β and expression of p-β-catenin, increasing the expression of β-catenin to start the Wnt signaling pathway and protect the PD neurons.…”
