A wide variety of dosing regimens are used to create the MPTP mouse model [155, 216-219]. In all cases, cell death is rapid with the first signs appearing within 12-72 hours and is maintained for several weeks [220]. Other hallmarks of PD observed include reductions in striatal DA and TH, elevated levels of acetylcholine, and reduced GSH [155, 221], as well as inflammatory markers and reactive gliosis [222, 223]. Mice administered MPTP display behavioral signs of decreased locomotor activity including
