Polygonatum sibiricum Polysaccharides Protect against MPP-Induced Neurotoxicity via the Akt/mTOR and Nrf2 Pathways.

The study investigated the mechanisms behind the beneficial effects of a Chinese medicine tonic called polysaccharides (PSP) on Parkinson's disease (PD). The researchers found that PSP improved locomotor activity and protected dopaminergic neurons in a mouse model of PD. PSP also reduced oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis, and activated signaling pathways that led to antiapoptotic and antioxidative effects. The study suggests that PSP could be a promising therapy for PD. PSP was also found to have no chronic toxicity in mice.
