l-DOPA alleviates the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, but its long-term use is associated with undesirable dyskinesia. We now tested whether exercise can attenuate this l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). We tested the effects of exercise on LID in 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride-hemiparkinsonian mice. Animals were treated with l-DOPA/benserazide (25/12.5 mg/kg, i.p.) without and with possibility to exercis...
