Table 1.
Effects of unilateral medial forebrain bundle (MFB) 6-OHDA or sham lesion on concentrations of striatal DOPAC and DA.
| Intact vs. lesioned | DOPAC (ng/mg) | DA (ng/mg) |
|---|---|---|
| Subset 6-OHDA-lesioned (n=7) | ||
| Intact (right) | 3.42 (± 0.16) | 11.34 (± 1.44) |
| Lesioned (left) | 0.06 (± 0.01)*+ | 0.03 (± 0.01)*+ |
| (Lesioned/intact %) | 1.70% | 0.30% |
| Subset sham-lesioned (n=7) | ||
| Intact (right) | 4.09 (± 0.74) | 10.30 (± 1.49) |
| Lesioned (left) | 3.41 (± 0.79) | 8.74 (± 1.53) |
| (Lesioned/intact %) | 88.45% | 92.22% |
Values are nanogram DOPAC or DA per milligram protein and percentage of intact striata. Differences between group means were determined by two-way ANOVAs and planned comparison analyses.
p<0.05 compared to intact sides;
p<0.05 compared to lesioned side (sham)
