  1. Mean standard error of the mean, n = 6. The use of one-way ANOVA: Tukey–Kramer test for multiple comparisons: ap < 0.001 in comparison with normal control; *p < 0.001 in comparison with the induction group. Body weight was significantly improved in comparison with the induction group where a significant reduction in average body weight was noticed which is a prominent feature of Parkinson’s
