Table 4. Mean values of control and injected side dopaminergic measurements.

Mean measurements of the 15 monkeys on the injected and control sides following euthanasia. The injected side reflects changes following a wide range of MPTP doses, not a uniform dose. Residual cell counts reflect the ratio of injected side over control side in the VTA or SNpc.

Measure Control Side Mean (SD) Injected Side Mean (SD)
VTA Cell Counts* 44003.2 (10937.8) 32943.8 (9490.3)
SNpc Cell Counts** 43812.6 (7919.0) 28522.1 (13628.5)
Striatal dopamine ** 22068.4 (7929.1) 9233.8 (10732.2)
Residual cells VTA --- 0.751 (0.149)
Residual cells SNpc --- 0.616 (0.247)

Significant differences are noted by * (p < .05) or ** (p < .005) as determined by paired t-tests.
