[Effect of Baicalin on the expression of connexin 36 in the cerebral cortex and striatum area of Parkinson's disease model rat].

To investigate the effect of Baicalin on the expression of connexin 36 (Cx36) in cerebral cortex and striatum area of 6-OHDA-induced Parkinson's (PD) model rats and its significance. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, 12 in each group: normal control group, PD model group (untreated group), PD model (Medopa group), PD model (Baicalin low dose group) PD model (Baicalin medium dose group) and PD model (Baicalin high dose group). Except for the normal control group, 6-OHDA was injected using microinjection under the mouse brain stereotaxic apparatus to establish the hemiparkinsonian PD model.
