Objective: VEM-PD nasal drops are made of a proprietary herbal blend with micro-emulsions and CNS & PD-beneficial Bio-Actives. Which looked into the potential protective mechanisms of VEM- PD Nasal drops on a mouse model of Parkinson's disease (PD) caused by 1-methyl-4- phenyl- 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). Methods: PD Nasal Drops dose levels that are specific on the levels of glutathione and malondialdehyde in the brain, as well as the activities of antioxidant enzymes in the striatum, extracts of 2 drops twice and 2 drops three times each were administered orally for 15 days in a row until behavioral observations were made. Results: MPTP (20 mg/kg, ip) was administered twice daily for five days prior to behavioral observation. When combined with MPTP + VEM-PD 2 drops /3 times, the striatum's glutathione (GSH) levels and antioxidant enzyme activity returned to nearly.. Read More»
