Figure 4. Biochemical effects of GAS exposure and ampicillin treatment.

Figure 4

Effects of streptococcal exposure and ampicillin treatment on D1 (A, D) and D2 (B, E) dopamine receptors and TH levels (C, F) in the striatum (A–C) and PFC (D–F) of GAS-exposed and control rats treated with ampicillin or water. The densitometry value of each of the three proteins was divided by the densitometry value of actin, and this ratio was divided by the mean protein/actin ratio of the GAS-Water group. N per group = 5–7 rats. CW = Control-Water; CA = Control-Ampicillin; GW = GAS-Water; GA = GAS-Ampicillin. *p<0.05, **p<0.0005, ***p<0.0001, #p = 0.053.
