Figure 2. Nesfatin-1 protected nigral dopaminergic neurons against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity (n = 6).
(A) TH+neurons in different groups were shown. (B) A summary of the data showed the numbers of TH+neurons in different groups. (C) An original figure of a western blot showing TH protein levels in different groups. (D) Statistical analysis of TH protein levels in different groups. Each value represents the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, compared with the control group. #P < 0.05, compared with the MPTP group. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Figure S2. (MPTP: 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, TH:tyrosine hydroxylase).
