Generating the 6-hydroxydopamine Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease

-- views • 1:31 min

記録

Take a rat and intraperitoneally inject the drug imipramine. Anesthetize the rat, shave its head, and secure it in a stereotaxic frame. 

Administer antibiotics intramuscularly to prevent infections.

Disinfect the head and incise to expose the skull. Identify the bregma and the lambda to locate the medial forebrain bundle or MFB.

The MFB comprises neurons connecting the midbrain to the forebrain, including the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons that control motor coordination.          

Drill a hole, position a microsyringe containing 6-hydroxydopamine or 6-OHDA, a neurotoxin, and inject it into the MFB.

Keep the needle in place to prevent neurotoxin backflow, then withdraw it.

Disinfect and suture the incision. Allow the rat to recover.

The previously injected imipramine blocks transporters in non-dopaminergic neurons, ensuring selective 6-OHDA uptake by dopaminergic neurons.

6-OHDA produces reactive oxygen species, causing oxidative damage and neuronal death.

The loss of dopaminergic neurons disrupts motor function, mimicking the motor function loss in Parkinson's disease.
