Immunohistochemistry of tyrosine hydroxylase in the SN and striatum of mice. With 10 × magnifications after staining. The expression of TH and nerve terminal density were significantly decreased in the SN and ST of MPTP-injected mice compared with the control group, whereas the expression of TH significantly increased in CGA-treated group compared with MPTP-injected mice. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3). ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, and ∗∗∗p < 0.001. CGA, chlorogenic acid; MPTP, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine; SN, substantia nigra; TH, tyrosine hydroxylase; ST, striatum; SEM, standard error of mean; IFV, integrated fluorescent value.
