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

“…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). Additionally, PD model zebrafish exhibited reduced dopamine levels, decreased dopaminergic neuron population, elevated oxidative stress, heightened inflammatory response and mitochondrial dysfunction. …”
