Popis: In the present study, the potential of tempol has been examined as a neuroprotective agent against the toxicity of the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in aged rat. Literature is silent about it. Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated with tempol and subsequently administered the neurotoxin 6-OHDA into the aged rat striatum. Various behavior and immunohistochemical tests were used to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of tempol. Significant difference in various groups was found (ANOVA, p
