Rooprai, Harcharan K., Christidou, M., Datla, K. P. and Widmer, W. W. (2001) Tissue distribution and neuroprotective effects of citrus flavonoid tangeretin in a rat model of Parkinson's disease. Neuroreport, 12 (17) . pp. 3871-3875. ISSN 09594965 [Article] (doi:10.1097/00001756-200112040-00053)

Abstract

This was the first study to give evidence that a citrus flavonoid (tangeretin) crosses the rat blood-brain-barrier and reduces the loss of TH+ cells and dopamine after 6-OHDA lesion in a model for PD. It showed that there was differential regional distribution of tangeretin within the brain and was neuroprotective.
