Spermidine Suppresses Peripheral Inflammation and Alleviates Non-Motor Symptoms in the 6-OHDA-Induced Rat Model of Parkinson’s Disease
lymphocytes and monocytes and elevated the plasma concentrations of IL-4 and IL-10, while reducing corticosterone levels. These immunomodulatory effects were associated with reduced anhedonia and anxiety. All of the biochemical safety parameters remained within normal ranges. Spermidine alleviates neuropsychiatric symptoms in a rat model of progressive neurodegeneration in the nigrostriatal system through its regulatory influence on peripheral immune responses. Exploring the systemic mechanisms underlying spermidine's effects could unveil innovative supplementation strategies and expand treatment options for managing symptoms in PD.
