Figure 3. DA tissue content normalized to remaining TH protein following 6-OHDA lesion.
A. DA tissue content against recovered TH protein decreased on average 42% following 6-OHDA lesion in striatum (n=11, *p=0.0025, t=4.01, df=10) but increased 37% in SN (n=11, *p=0.025, t=2.64, df=10). B. DA per TH against contralateral control tissue, striatum vs. SN There was a significant difference in ng DA recovered per remaining TH protein in the striatum (decreased 40 ± 9% (mean ± SEM) against the control value of the contralateral striatum), compared to that in SN (increased 42 ± 17% (n=11, **p=0.005, t=3.54, df=10).
