Electroacupuncture Ameliorated Locomotor Symptoms in MPTP-Induced Mice Model of Parkinson's Disease by Regulating Autophagy via Nrf2 Signaling.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent and challenging neurodegenerative disorder, and may involve impaired autophagy. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is crucial for regulating autophagy-related genes, maintaining cellular homeostasis. Electroacupuncture (EA), a complementary and alternative therapy for PD, has gained widespread clinical application.
