Abstract

Intranasal administration of acidic fibroblast growth factor suppressed the development of oligokinesia and muscular rigidity and elevated the content of dopamine and its metabolites (dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and homovanillic acid) in the striatum of 7-month-old mice with MPTP-induced Parkinsonian syndrome. In 14-month-old mice the antiparkinsonic effect of acidic fibroblast growth factor was weakened or absent. It is suggested that this factor is able to attenuate or postpone degeneration and death of nigral dopaminergic neurons.
