Abstract
Purpose: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Recent studies have indicated a higher prevalence of PD in male gender. Furthermore testosterone deficiency is more common among male parkinsonians in compare to healthy men. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of testosterone on catalepsy, in male rats.Keywords
