| Abstract | Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation underlie the major pathogenesis in Parkinson's disease (PD). Antioxidants are known to protect against the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Monascus purpureus-fermented rice, a traditional Chinese medicine as well as a health food, includes multifunctional metabolites. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of the antioxidant-containing M. purpureus NTU 568-fermented rice extract (extracted with 50% ethanol, so called R50E) in 6-hydrodopamine (6-OHDA)-induced neurotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, treatment with R50E reduced 6-OHDA-induced SH-SY5Y cell death. In vivo, two doses of R50E (5.5 and 11.0 mg kg−1) were administered for a period of 28 days following 6-OHDA-induced lesioning. The administration of R50E reduced parkinsonian motor dysfunction and the number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-immunoreactive neurons present in 6-OHDA-induced lesioned rats. Moreover, the administration of R50E reversed the elevation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and promoted the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione peroxidase via down-regulation of p47 phox, NOX1, and NOX2 expression in the 6-OHDA-lesion rats. Furthermore, treatment with R50E attenuated nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) levels in the 6-OHDA-lesion rats. In conclusion, R50E may prevent neurodegeneration via anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, suggesting its potential therapeutic value for PD treatment. This is the first study for evaluating the neuroprotective effects of red mold fermented products in PD models. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
