Moderate intensity aerobic exercise in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats alleviates established motor deficits and reduces neurofilament light and glial fibrillary acidic protein serum levels without increased striatal dopamine or tyrosine hydroxylase protein
Ella Anle Kasanga, Isabel Soto, Ashley Centner…·Michael F. Salvatore
This study shows moderate intensity aerobic exercise improves motor deficits and reduces blood biomarkers in a Parkinson's rat model without increasing striatal dopamine or tyrosine hydroxylase.

Aging hastens locomotor decline in PINK1 knockout rats in association with decreased nigral, but not striatal, dopamine and tyrosine hydroxylase expression
Isabel Soto, Robert McManus, Walter Navarrete…·Michael F. Salvatore
The paper evaluates aging's effect on motor and cognitive impairments in PINK1 knockout rats, finding decreased nigral dopamine and tyrosine hydroxylase with age, but not in striatum.

PINK1 knockout rats show premotor cognitive deficits measured through a complex maze
Isabel Soto, Vicki A. Nejtek, David Peter Siderovski, Michael F. Salvatore
The paper tests cognitive deficits in PINK1 knockout rats using a modified T-maze, finding increased errors and slower performance compared to wild-type rats.

Differential expression of RET and GDNF family receptor, GFR-α1, between striatum and substantia nigra following nigrostriatal lesion: a case for diminished GDNF-signaling
Ella Anle Kasanga, Yoonhee Han, Walter Navarrete…·Michael F. Salvatore
This study examines changes in GDNF receptor expression in the striatum and substantia nigra following a nigrostriatal lesion in rats, finding differential expression patterns of GFR-1 and RET that may impact GDNF therapeutic efficacy.

Nigral-specific increase in ser31 tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation offsets dopamine loss and forestalls hypokinesia onset during progressive nigrostriatal neuron loss
Ella Anle Kasanga, Yoonhee Han, Marla K. Shifflet…·Michael F. Salvatore
The paper investigates how increased ser31 tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation in the substantia nigra compensates for dopamine loss and delays hypokinesia onset in a rat model of Parkinson's disease.
