Figure 5. Mn does not cause dopaminergic degeneration in aged animals.

Figure 5

Quantification of animals displaying dendritic loss in one or more of the their dopaminergic neurons located in the head region (CEP). Worms expressing pdat-1::GFP (BY200) or pdat-1::GFP; pdat-1::a-synuclein (UA44) were aged until day 5 of adulthood and then exposed to water (Ctrl) or 20 mM MnCl2 for 48 hours. No significant differences were observed between Ctrl and Mn-treated animals, Student's t-test.
