Fig. 6. Distribution of Lewy pathology by gut segment in PD and ILB patients.

Fig. 6

a. The percent of cases in which Lewy bodies were detected in any layer of any gut segment after examination of one section per segment (a total of 5 sections per case). N = 13 for PD and 4 for ILB. No Lewy bodies were detected in control samples (not shown). b. The percent of the total number of myenteric ganglia counted that contained Lewy bodies for each patient group. Total number of ganglia examined: stomach (123 PD and 24 ILB), duodenum (104 PD and 33 ILB), ileum (221 PD and 62 ILB), colon (214 PD and 64 ILB), and rectum (27 PD and 37 ILB)
