6OHDA treatment reduces tyrosine hydroxylase-expressing sympathetic fibers in the cornea of mice. Mice (n=2/group) were administered vehicle (0.1% ascorbic acid in PBS) or 6OHDA (80 mg/kg) intraperitoneally daily for 3 days. Mice were exsanguinated, and the corneas were removed and stained for tyrosine hydroxylase expression by whole mount staining. The corneas were evaluated by laser scanning confocal microscopy. A representative image of a cornea flat mount at 400x is shown for a vehicle- and 6OHDA-treated mouse. Yellow arrows denote tyrosine hydroxylase-expressing sympathetic nerve fibers.
