Expression levels of genes by PCR in the corpus striatum, effect of exercise (4 weeks treadmill), L-dopa (6 mg\kg IP daily for 4 weeks), and their combination on rotenone treated rats (2 mg\kg SC for 4 weeks). a Nrf2 gene, b expression level of NADPH dehydrogenase (NQO1) mRNA, and c expression level of TFAM mRNA, P-value is calculated by ANOVA test, and is considered significant if  < 0.05. n = 10 rats in each group. *Significant when compared to control G. #significant when compared to the rotenone group. $Significant when compared to the rotenone\exercise group
