AbstractCatatonia is one of the major signs of parkinson’s disease which is due to impaired dopamine in extrapyrmidal system. This study was performed to elucidate the role of L-tyrosine, vitamin E and vitamin C on perphenazine-induced catatonia in model of rat. Eight groups of rats were pretreated orally by a single dose of L-tyrosine (1500 mg/kg), vitamin E (250 mg/kg), vitamin C (300 mg/kg), vitamin E plus vitamin C, vitamin E plus L-tyrosine, vitamin C plus L-tyrosine, vitamins E and C plus L-tyrosine and normal saline (control group) for two weeks, respectively. One hour after the last dose, perphenazine (5 mg/kg) was administered (IP) to induce catatonia. Muscular rigidity of animals was determined by scoring method of Morpurgo. The results of this study indicate that L-tyrosine plus vitamins E and C could reduce the perphenazine-induced muscular rigidity better than other groups.en
