- ItemOpen AccessExercise induced neuroprotection in spontaneuosly running rats(2007) Mabandla, Musa Vuyisile; Gibson, Alan St Clair; Russell, Vivienue AWe investigated the effects of voluntary exercise on neuroprotection after unilateral lesions with 6-hydroxydopamine. Rats were divided into runners (had access to running wheel) and non-runners (their running wheels were immobilised). Two weeks after injection of the neurotoxin, the rats were injected with apomorphine and the number of ipsilateral and contralateral rotations was counted with contralateral rotations of greater than 150 considered to represent striatal dopamine neuron destruction of 70% or above.
