6-shogaol and ginger treatment inhibit dopaminergic neuronal death induced by P. mirabilis administration. (A) Representative images of TH-immunoreactivity in the ST and SNpc and DAT-immunoreactivity in the ST. (B) The number of TH-positive neurons in the SNpc was counted. The optical density of (C) TH immunoreactivity or (D) that of DAT immunoreactivity in the ST were measured. Values were expressed as means ± SEM. ^###p<0.001 and ^####p<0.0001 vs. NOR group; *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 and ****p<0.0001 vs. PM group. N=8 for each group.
