OBJECTIVE: Although olfactory disturbance appears to occur in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) in humans, little is known about its mechanism. The aim of this study was to make a PD model using injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) in the common marmoset and to discover the mechanism of olfactory disturbance in this animal.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Olfactory disturbance induced by MPTP in the common marmoset was observed by behavioral, biochemical and immunohistochemical means.
RESULTS: Administration of MPTP caused common marmosets to enter an akinetic state within a few days and to show signs of impaired olfactory function. Biochemical study showed a decrease in dopamine levels, especially in tissue samples from the caudate nucleus and putamen. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a lack of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity, not only in the substantia nigra, caudate nucleus and putamen but also in the olfactory tubercle.
CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that MPTP causes both PD-like symptoms and olfactory disturbance in the common marmoset. The olfactory disturbance observed in these animals may be due to the lack of dopamine in the olfactory tubercle.
