The aim of this study was to investigate Parkinson’s disease (PD) using a murine model of PD. Specifically, we aimed to explore the mechanism by which puerarin prevents inflammation and apoptosis in neurocytes. Eighty healthy male C57/BL6 mice were randomly selected and divided into four groups (N = 20 each): control group; PD group; PD+puerarin group; and puerarin group. At the end of the treatment period, the animals’ brains were removed after perfusion and decollation.

Effect of puerarin on the expression of NMU, NPY, and POMC genes in the hypothalamus

Q. D. Jiang, Li, X. P., Jiang, Q. D., and Li, X. P., Effect of puerarin on the expression of NMU, NPY, and POMC genes in the hypothalamus, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The hypothalamus is an important component of the nervous system, and neuropeptide Y (NPY), proopiomelanocortin (POMC), and neuromedin U (NMU) are key players in physiological regulation. Puerarin is important for nerve regulation. We investigated the effect of puerarin on the expression of NMU, NPY, and POMC genes in the hypothalamus. The results showed that the puerarin low-dose group and the other groups were significantly different (P
